Abstract: Defense against intracellular infection has been extensively studied in vertebrate hosts, but less is known about invertebrate hosts; specifically, the transcription factors that induce defense against intracellular intestinal infection in the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans… read more here.

Abstract: Significance Most legumes benefit from nodulation, an ecologically and agriculturally important symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This endosymbiosis requires the formation of unique transcellular structures that mediate bacterial entry into root cells. Comparisons have been drawn… read more here.

Abstract: Ecological transitions between different lifestyles, such as pathogenicity, mutualism and saprophytism, have been very frequent in the course of microbial evolution, and often driven by horizontal gene transfer. Yet, how genomes achieve the ecological transition… read more here.
