Abstract: Swarming is a form of collective bacterial motion enabled by flagella on the surface of semi-solid media. Swarming populations exhibit non-genetic or adaptive resistance to antibiotics, despite sustaining considerable cell death. Here, we show that… read more here.

Abstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from different parts of the male reproductive tract can be internalized by human spermatozoa affecting their maturation and regulating their functions. Here we demonstrate that EVs derived from the female tract… read more here.

Abstract: Background: The function of prorenin, the inactive precursor of renin, remains unclear after many decades of research. The discovery of a (pro)renin receptor suggested that prorenin, by binding to this receptor, would become active, that… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.859686
Abstract: Calreticulin is a chaperone, normally found in the endoplasmic reticulum, but can be released by macrophages into the extracellular medium. It is also found in cerebrospinal fluid bound to amyloid beta (Aβ). We investigated whether… read more here.
