The striking differences between the clinical symptoms of tetanus and botulism have been
ascribed to the different fate of the parental neurotoxins once internalised in motor neurons. …

Physical forces are essential to biological function, but their impact at the tissue level is not
fully understood. The gut is under continuous mechanical stress because of peristalsis. To …

Cell migration modes can vary, depending on a number of environmental and intracellular
factors. The high motility of the pathogenic amoeba Entamoeba histolytica is a decisive factor …

Entamoeba histolytica is the anaerobic protozoan parasite responsible for human amoebiasis,
the third most deadly parasitic disease worldwide. This highly motile eukaryotic cell …

Clostridium perfringens produces numerous toxins, which are responsible for severe diseases
in man and animals. Delta toxin is one of the three hemolysins released by a number of C…

The botulinum neurotoxin A C-terminal fragment (Hc), which mediates the binding of the
toxin to neuronal cell surface receptors, comprises two subdomains, Hc-N (amino acids 873–…

The method proposed in this paper is a robust combination of multi-task learning and
unsupervised domain adaptation for segmenting amoeboid cells in microscopy. A highlight of this …

Cell motility is governed by a complex molecular machinery that converts physico-chemical
cues into whole-cell movement. Understanding the underlying biophysical mechanisms …

Zika virus (ZIKV) dramatically emerged in French Polynesia and subsequently in the
Americas where it has been associated with severe neurological complications in adults and …

Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite and the causative agent of amoebiasis in
humans. This amoeba invades human tissues by taking advantage of its actin-rich cytoskeleton …
