Some HIV-positive patients off antiretroviral therapy can control their viremia on the long term. These so-called post-treatment controllers (PTCs) represent a unique opportunity to better understand how the human immune system can contain HIV-1 […]
How does the organism protect itself against potential pathogenic threats associated with food intake? In their latest work, the team of Gérard Eberl and their collaborators demonstrate a crosstalk between the nervous and immune […]
Integrons are genetic elements that play an important role in the evolution of bacteria and contribute to the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacterial strains. In their study published last month in NAR (Vit et […]
Restriction-modification (R-M) systems are often regarded as bacterial immune systems, protecting cells from infection by foreign mobile DNA. However, previous results from our group1 found more R-M systems in genomes carrying more mobile DNA […]
To escape predators or to acquire rewards, animals need to anticipate movements. How does the brain accomplish this task? Scientists at the Institut Pasteur have recorded the activity of neurons in the frontal cortex […]

Listeria monocytogenes is the bacterium responsible for human listeriosis, a very severe foodborne infection. A study published in Nature Genetics reveals the high heterogeneity of the pathogenicity of L. monocytogenes strains. This work is based on the study […]
Joost Wauters- Ziekenhuis University (Leuven, Belgium) Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) typically occurs in a severely immunocompromised host and isolation of Aspergillus species in the immunocompetent host is mostly considered colonization. Overall, the six-week mortality […]
After such a long time without onsite-scientific meetings, what a great day that was ! The “Ancient DNA journey: from humans to human pathogens and microbiomes”meeting was an exciting event with great speakers sharing […]
Type 2 secretion systems transport proteins in a folded form. The recognition signal that allows specific secretion of type 2 substrates has remained elusive, despite years of studies. In collaboration with the team of […]
