Both functional LTbeta receptor and TNF receptor 2 are required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria.

BackgroundTNF-related lymphotoxin alpha (LTalpha) is essential for the development of Plasmodium berghei ANKA (PbA)-induced experimental cerebral malaria (ECM).The pathway involved has been attributed to TNFR2.Here we show a second arm of LTalpha-signaling essential for ECM development through LTbeta-R, receptor of LTalpha1beta2 heterotrimer.Method

Changes in environmental and engineered conditions alter the plasma membrane lipidome of fractured shale bacteria

ABSTRACT Microorganisms that persist in fractured shale reservoirs cause several problems including secreting foul gases and forming biofilms.Current biocontrol measures often fail due to limited knowledge of their in situ activities.The plasma membrane protects the cell, mediates many of its critical functions, and responds to intracellular cues a

Perceptual learning of interrupted speech.

The intelligibility of periodically interrupted speech improves once the silent gaps are filled with noise bursts.This improvement has been attributed to phonemic restoration, a top-down repair mechanism that helps intelligibility of degraded speech in daily life.Two hypotheses were investigated using Illuminator perceptual learning of interrupted
