The role of genomic islands in virulence of Pectobacterium carotovorum subspecies brasiliensis on potatoes
… in bacteria that are acquired by horizontal gene transfer and often encode virulence factors. To address this hypothesis, the genomes of P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum strains associated with blackleg disease of potatoes were compared to those of non-blackleg causing strains, to identify …

Understanding T cells in type 1 diabetes: a role for c-Maf and characterization of intracellular signaling following engagement of transgenic Ly49A.
Activated islet specific T cells are central to the destructive autoimmune response observed in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Not surprisingly, intense focus is placed on understanding how autoreactive T cell responses arise and contribute to disease pathology in the hope of using this information to …
