• NEISSERIA GONORRHOEAE MODULATES INFECTIVITY BASED ON PROPERTIES OF HUMAN CERVICAL EPITHELIA AND PHASE VARIABLE BACTERIAL SURFACE STRUCTURES 

  Yu, Qian (2019)

  Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) infection in the human female reproductive tract causes various clinical outcomes, from no symptom to severe complications. The major barrier to a better understanding of GC infection in women ...

• Investigating the role(s) of mammalian heme transport by HRG1 

  Pek, Rini (2019)

  The recycling of hemoglobin from damaged or senescent red blood cells (RBCs) contributes almost 90% of daily body iron requirements in humans for bone marrow erythropoiesis. Previously, our cell biological studies have ...

• Structure-Guided Engineering of a Multimeric Bacteriophage-Encoded Endolysin PlyC 

  Shang, Xiaoran (2019)

  Emerging antibiotic resistance has become a global health threat. One alternative to antibiotics is bacteriophage-encoded endolysins. Endolysins are peptidoglycan hydrolases produced at the end of the bacteriophage replication ...

• Orthologous Gene Swapping and Experimental Evolution Provide Novel Way to Study Essential Poxvirus Genes 

  Stuart, Carey A (2018)

  The transcriptional program of poxviruses is divided into early, intermediate and late phases enabled by a multisubunit DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and stage-specific transcription factors that recognize cognate promoters. ...

• PROGRAMMED TRANSLATIONAL RECODING SIGNALS AS A THERAPEUTIC TARGET AGAINST ALPHAVIRUSES 

  Kendra, Joseph Aaron (2018)

  While infection from communicable diseases has posed a longstanding threat to human health throughout history, the modern realities of population expansion, global travel, and climate change have facilitated the rapid ...
