Unlabelled: Understanding cellular mechanisms of stress management relies on omics data as a valuable resource. However, the lack of absolute quantitative data on protein abundances remains a significant limitation, particularly when comparing protein abundances across different cell compartments. In this study, we aimed to gain deeper insights into the proteomic responses of the Gram-positive model bacterium to disulfide stress.

The bacterium is capable of spore formation allowing the survival of antibiotic treatment. Therefore, research on the physiology of is important for the development of alternative treatment strategies.

These virus-bacterial interactions, as well as MNV infection, promote the increased production of bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs). However, no correlation has been made between specific bacterial groups, their vesicles, and their impact on norovirus infection.

The prospective study held 54 mice divided into three groups: healthy mice (A), mice with iatrogenic induced disturbance of the blood-brain barrier by glioblastoma (B) or cerebral infarction (C). In each group 9 animals received 10 iv-injections of gadodiamide (1.

The absence of a complete small protein catalogue in most prokaryotes precludes our understanding of how these molecules affect physiology. So far, archaeal genomes have not yet been analyzed broadly with a dedicated focus on small proteins.
