A polymer stereocomplex is defined as a stereoselective interaction between two
complementing stereoregular polymers, that interlock and form a new composite, demonstrating …

Bacterial processes, such as stress responses and cell differentiation, are controlled at many
different levels. While some factors, such as transcriptional regulation, are well appreciated, …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have now correlated hundreds of genetic variants
with complex genetic diseases and drug efficacy. Functional characterization of these …

Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) kills nearly 1 million children annually, and the
emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains poses a serious threat to human health. Because …

In order to establish the structural requirements for binding to the brain cannabinoid receptor
(CB 1 ), we have synthesized numerous fatty acid amides, ethanolamides, and some …

Genome‐wide screens have discovered a large set of essential genes in the opportunistic
human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae. However, the functions of many essential …

Complications arising from hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are among the leading
causes of preventable severe maternal morbidity and mortality. Timely and appropriate …

Background Streptococcus pneumoniae, the pneumococcus, is the main etiological agent
of pneumonia. Pneumococcal infection is initiated by bacterial adherence to lung epithelial …

A precise understanding of the genomic organization into transcriptional units and their
regulation is essential for our comprehension of opportunistic human pathogens and how they …

Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is an emerging pathogen that can cause severe respiratory
