Host-pathogen interactions can be influenced by the host microbiota, as the microbiota can facilitate or prevent pathogen infections. In addition, members of the microbiota can become virulent. Such pathobionts can cause co-infections when ...
Tethering of soluble immune effectors to mucin and chitin reflects a convergent and dynamic role in gut immunity [0.03%]
可溶性免疫效应物与黏蛋白和几丁质的结合反映肠道免疫中一种收敛性和动态性的角色

Many animals have pigments when they themselves cannot see colour. Perhaps those pigments enable the animal to avoid predators, or to attract mates. Maybe even those pigmented surfaces are hosts for microbes, even when the microbes do not s...
Novel technologies uncover novel 'anti'-microbial peptides in Hydra shaping the species-specific microbiome [0.03%]
新颖的技术在水螅中发现了具有新颖的“抗”微生物肽形状了物种特异性的微生态群系
