Article Synopsis
- The domestication of cattle has allowed Propionibacteriaceae to evolve and adapt to human skin, particularly a species that makes up 25% of it, offering both benefits and potential risks, such as infections.
- Researchers investigated a specific protein, RoxP, that supports the bacteria’s survival on skin and may contribute to infections, revealing its heme-binding properties through structural analysis and computational modeling.
- The study developed sensitive anti-RoxP antibodies and a new ELISA method to measure RoxP in human biofluids, advancing understanding of this bacterium's adaptation and implications for human health.
Dynamic and coordinated axonal responses to changing environments are critical for establishing neural connections. As commissural axons migrate across the CNS midline, they are suggested to switch from being attracted to being repelled in order to approach and to subsequently leave the midline. A molecular mechanism that is hypothesized to underlie this switch in axonal responses is the silencing of Netrin1/Deleted in Colorectal Carcinoma (DCC)-mediated attraction by the repulsive SLIT/ROBO1 signaling.
