We systematically investigated RcrR's contribution to cariogenic virulence using isogenic wild-type, DeltarcrR deletion mutant, and complemented strains. We assessed bacterial growth, biofilm architecture, acid tolerance, and H+-ATPase activity. To delineate the global regulatory network, we inte...
Salmonella Typhimurium (S. typhimurium), a gram-negative foodborne pathogen, is the leading cause of Salmonella food poisoning in humans. slyA has been demonstrated to be a critical transcriptional regulator in S. typhimurium, enabling the pathogen to survive in host cells by modulating the expre...
Germline or somatic loss-of-function of fumarate hydratase (FH) predisposes patients to an aggressive form of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Since other than tumor resection, there is no effective therapy for FH-deficient RCC, a competent method for early diagnosis and for early detection of recurre...
Background Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the most prevalent form of hair loss, is driven by the dysfunction of dermal papilla cells (DPCs). Emerging evidence implicates DPC senescence in the pathogenesis of AGA; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated.
