The marine labile dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool is a dynamic reservoir of thousands of molecules. After excretion or release by phytoplankton and other microbes, metabolites are rapidly consumed, resulting in very low standing concentrations (picomolar to low nanomolar). To date, marine phy...
Scope: The Caco2/HT29-MTX co-culture system is widely used as a cell model of the intestinal epithelium. Although the gut epithelium plays an important role in the uptake of free fatty acids and the resynthesis of triglycerides, the lipid distribution profile of the two-dimensional co-culture sys...
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) expand during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and suppress T cell mediated control. Whether Mtb actively contributes to this process is unclear. Here, using a genome-wide mutant library, we show that expression of Mtb Rv1272c, an ATP-binding cassette transpor...
