Mashup Score: 7Phage predation, disease severity, and pathogen genetic diversity in cholera patients - 9 day(s) ago
Despite an increasingly detailed picture of the molecular mechanisms of bacteriophage (phage)–bacterial interactions, we lack an understanding of how these interactions evolve and impact disease within patients. In this work, we report a year-long, …

Mashup Score: 9Salamander Story - 25 day(s) ago
The following article is based on a number or reference sources, both historical and speculative, including internet references, academic reviews, scholarly publications, and publications of professional associations. The article is not intended to present a fully accurate summation of how the salamander came to be used as the central focus of our union’s official logo. In fact, the full story may never be known as the original creators of our symbol left no record of their reasoning or intentions. We

Mashup Score: 132The Molecular Architecture of the Nuclear Basket - 1 month(s) ago
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the sole mediator of nucleocytoplasmic transport. Despite great advances in understanding its conserved core architecture, the peripheral regions can exhibit considerable variation within and between species. One such structure is the cage-like nuclear basket. Despite its crucial roles in mRNA surveillance and chromatin organization, an architectural understanding has remained elusive. Using in-cell cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram analysis, we explored the NPC’s structural variations and the nuclear basket across fungi (yeast; S. cerevisiae), mammals (mouse; M. musculus), and protozoa (T. gondii). Using integrative structural modeling, we computed a model of the basket in yeast and mammals that revealed how a hub of Nups in the nuclear ring binds to basket-forming Mlp/Tpr proteins: the coiled-coil domains of Mlp/Tpr form the struts of the basket, while their unstructured termini constitute the basket distal densities, which potentially serve a

Mashup Score: 22Business Cards - 2 month(s) ago
Business cards created for Harvard Medical School have special dedicated areas for information. Only the HMS primary logo is used for all business cards. Department or office locked up logos are not used on the business card and should not be used on official HMS business cards. Instead, the name of the office or department should be featured between the person’s title and office address. Underneath the logo features the person’s name, title, office address and office phone number.

Mashup Score: 7Plasmid-free cheater cells commonly evolve during laboratory growth | Applied and Environmental Microbiology - 2 month(s) ago
Plasmids are routinely used in microbiology as readouts of cell biology or tools to manipulate cell function. Central to these studies is the assumption that all cells in an experiment contain the plasmid. Plasmid maintenance in a host cell typically …
