Working in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, scientists at the University of ...

Salmonella and many other kinds of bacteria are of the social type: They can live and even thrive inside a host cell. But unlike us, these bacteria do not spend a long time wooing the cell in the ...

Listeria gets its host to build it an actin tail Some intracellular bacteria use the host cell’s actin supplies to build their own transport system. The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes ...

These microbes all enjoy at least part of their lives shielded from the onslaught of white blood cells, antibodies, and other immune defenses that the body launches against pathogens that live outside ...

They graphically represent the life cycle of HIV-1, from the initial binding of the viral particle onto a host cell (Viral Entry), through insinuation into the host cell's nucleus to spark the ...

After a virus attaches to its host cell, it must find some way to enter the cell. How have viruses hijacked the cell's pathways to cause infections, and how have scientists learned about ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) manipulates host cell death pathways to facilitate infection by promoting necroptosis and inhibiting apoptosis. The Mtb effector ...

Supercomputer simulations have revealed how changes in the shape of the HIV-1 capsid protein may help the virus squeeze its inner core into the host cell's nuclear membrane. The findings ...

and the host eukaryotes came to rely on the contribution of the "eaten" cells. Over many generations, the descendants of the eukaryotes developed mechanisms to further support this system ...

Cell Host & Microbe is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Cell Press. The journal was first launched in March 2007 and focuses broadly on the study of microbes, with an emphasis on ...
