The N-terminus of the effector Tarp engages the host Hippo pathway.

Unlabelled: () is an obligate, intracellular Gram-negative bacteria and the leading bacterial sexually transmitted infection in the United States. manipulates the host cell biology using various secreted bacterial effectors during its intracellular development. The early effector ranslocated ctin-ecruiting hosphoprotein (Tarp), important for entry, has a well-characterized C-terminal region which can polymerize and bundle F-actin.

Fetal Mammary Gland Development and Offspring's Breast Cancer Risk in Adulthood.

As a result, there is widespread consensus that the most sustainable solution lies in prevention.

Volatile hydrocarbon exposures and immune-related illnesses among Deepwater Horizon oil spill workers.

Background: Despite evidence from experimental studies linking some petroleum hydrocarbons to markers of immune suppression, limited epidemiologic research exists on this topic.

Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine associations of oil spill related chemicals (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and n-hexane (BTEX-H)) and total hydrocarbons (THC) with immune-related illnesses as indicators of potential immune suppression.

Methods: Subjects comprised 8601 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill clean-up and response workers who participated in a home visit (1-3 years after the DWH spill) in the Gulf Long-term Follow-up (GuLF) Study.

Vaccine Beliefs Among Uninsured People Receiving Care at Free Clinics.

Background: Misinformation and vaccination hesitancy contribute to disparities in vaccination rates, particularly in under-resourced communities. This study aims to investigate perceptions and factors influencing vaccination decisions at free clinics serving diverse, under-resourced communities.
