Apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) is expressed in the merozoite and sporozoite infectious stages of the malaria parasite, and upon secretion plays essential roles during host cell invasion. AMA1 is a…
Antigen presenting cells (APC) can bind HIV-1 and subsequently trans infect CD4+ T cells. In comparison to direct (cis) infection of CD4+ T cells by free virus, APC-mediated HIV-1 trans infection is…
Amyloid fibrils are highly ordered protein aggregates characterized by a conserved cross-{beta}-sheet architecture despite originating from structurally diverse precursor proteins. Growing evidence…
More water does not necessarily produce more alfalfa seed. A five-year trial near Keith, South Australia, found that strategically delaying irrigation until plants showed early signs of leaf drop…
Tuberculosis bacteria released into the air from infected individuals dry out to form infectious particles that are second only to measles in contagiousness. Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have…
In 1899, scientists began tracking avian migration by placing a small ring with an identifier around birds’ ankles. Researchers then had to recapture the birds elsewhere, leaving the journey between…
When an insecticide application fails to control bluegreen aphid, application conditions may not be the only cause. Research has identified resistant populations across southern Australia, confirming…
Indonesian rice cultivars represent valuable genetic resources, yet many remain poorly characterized at the genomic level. Here, we generated 95.40 Gb of PacBio HiFi sequence data from seven…
The QxxR motif is evolutionarily conserved within DEAD-box RNA helicases, including Drosophila Me31B and human DDX6, which post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression during animal development. A…
Over the course of a lifetime, somatic mutations accrue in normal human cells, causing variation in cell phenotype and engendering somatic evolution with outcomes ranging from the adaptive immune…
