Cyclic-di-GMP Regulation of Virulence in Bacterial Pathogens
Cyclic-di-GMP regulation of bacterial virulence is specific to each pathogen, strain, and type of infection. Differences in the composition and structure of extracellular matrix components could underlie the variation in immune response in the mammalian host.
RNA Uridylation: A Key Post-Transcriptional Modification Shaping the Coding and Non-Coding Transcriptome
Uridylation is a widespread post-transcriptional modification impacting the fate of coding and non-coding RNAs in eukaryotes.

Regulation of Germ Cell Development by Intercellular Signaling in the Mammalian Ovarian Follicle
Unlike all other cells in the body, which age and eventually die, a female’s oocytes can give rise to a new individual. Oocytes have, in a sense, achieved immortality. In order to reach this exalted state, each oocyte undergoes a complex program of differentiation within the ovary before it is ovulated and fertilized.
On-Chip Magnetic Nanoparticles for Phosphoproteomics
Indium oxide-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized and used as solid phase extraction adsorbent on a chip, held with the help of an external magnetic field.
Manipulating Proteins inside Living Cells
Magnetogenetics is a promising approach manipulating cellular functions in tissues and organisms with high spatial and temporal resolution.
