In the past decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been recognized as potent vehicles of
intercellular communication, both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This is due to their capacity …

Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes of the innate immune system that orchestrate
development of inflammation by activating the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, IL-1β …

Coevolutionary studies on plants and plant‐feeding insects have significantly improved our
understanding of the role of niche shifts in the generation of new species. Evolving plant …

Both rosiglitazone and metformin increase hepatic insulin sensitivity, but their mechanism of
action has not been compared in humans. The objective of this study was to compare the …

Background Platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) participate, for example, in haemostasis,
immunity and development. Most studies of platelet EVs have targeted microparticles, …

Remote attestation is a crucial security service particularly relevant to increasingly popular
IoT (and other embedded) devices. It allows a trusted party (verifier) to learn the state of a …

The ability to induce galls on plants has evolved independently in many insect orders, but
the adaptive significance and evolutionary consequences of gall induction are still largely …

The Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain is a highly conserved signaling domain found
in the intracellular regions of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), in interleukin-1 receptors, and in …

Herpes simplex virus ( HSV ) 1 stimulates type I IFN expression through the cGAS – STING –
TBK 1 signaling axis. Macrophages have recently been proposed to be an essential source …
