Figure 1: In the innate immune system, cytoplasmic sensor molecules detect invasion of viruses or bacteria, then activate expression of cytokines, including type I interferon, and inhibit their ...

The 347 ESPs include cytoplasmic proteins, internal signaling proteins and nuclear proteins. Hartman and Fedorov used their They defined a set of several hundred 'eukaryotic signature proteins' (ESPs) ...

We focus on how temperature affects the cytoplasmic state in bacteria and what the consequences to cellular processes are. To study this, we use super-resolution microscopy and single molecule ...

Unlike their planktonic counterparts, bacteria in biofilms are encapsulated in an extracellular matrix, a complex mixture of macromolecules (including DNA). We use biophotonics and soft matter ...
