Members of the genus Bifidobacterium are typically found in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of humans and other mammals. Bifidobacterium breve strains are numerically prevalent among the gut microbiota of healthy, breast-fed infants. The metabolism of sialic acid, a ubiquitous monosaccharide in the...
ORGANISM(S): Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 
Bifidobacteria constitute a specific group of commensal bacteria which inhabit the gastrointestinal tract of humans and other mammals. Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 has previously been shown to utilise several plant-derived carbohydrates that include cellodextrins, starch and galactan. In the curren...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus utilizes an extensively glycosylated spike protein that protrudes from the viral envelope to bind to angiotensin-converting enzyme-related carboxypeptidase (ACE2) as its primary receptor to mediate host-cell entry. Currently, the...

Meningococcus utilizes β-arrestin selective activation of endothelial cell β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) to cause meningitis in humans. Molecular mechanisms of receptor activation by the pathogen and of its species selectivity remained elusive. We report that β2AR activation requires two asparagine-...

MHC class II proteins mediate sialic acid independent entry of human and avian H2N2 influenza A viruses
Influenza A viruses (IAV) cause seasonal outbreaks that pose a substantial burden on human health. They are also a zoonotic threat as avian and swine IAV can be a source for pandemic influenza. Receptor specificity is a critical determinant of tropism, host range and transmissibility of IAV and thus...

Preeclampsia (PE), which affects 4-8% of human pregnancies, causes significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Within the basal plate, placental cytotrophoblasts (CTBs) of fetal origin invade the uterus and extensively remodel the maternal vasculature. In PE, CTB invasion is often sha...
