Many bacterial pathogens that invade non‐phagocytic cells first interact with host cell surface
receptors. Adhesion to the host cell is followed by the activation of specific host signalling …

Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive bacterium responsible for a severe infection
associated with different clinical features (gastroenteritis, meningoencephalitis, and abortion in …

Increasing evidence indicates that pathogens have evolved highly efficient strategies to
induce their internalization within host cells. Viruses and bacteria express and expose on their …

Membrane fission is a fundamental step in membrane transport. So far, the only fission protein
machinery that has been implicated in in vivo transport involves dynamin, and functions in …

Actin-based motility is used by various pathogens for dissemination within and between
cells. Yet host factors restricting this process have not been identified. Septins are GTP-binding …

Q fever is a highly infectious disease with a worldwide distribution. Its causative agent, the
intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii, infects a variety of vertebrate species, including …

Bacterial pathogens recruit clathrin upon interaction with host surface receptors during
infection. Here, using three different infection models, we observed that host–pathogen …

Infection by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes depends on host cell clathrin. To determine
whether this requirement is widespread, we analyzed infection models using diverse …

Listeria monocytogenes surface proteins internalin (Inl)A and InlB interact with the junctional
protein E‐cadherin and the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor Met, respectively, on …

Elastic geobarometry makes use of the contrast in elastic proprieties between host and
inclusion crystals to determine the entrapment conditions of the inclusions from the residual …
