Septins belong to a family of proteins that is highly conserved in eukaryotes and is
increasingly recognized as a novel component of the cytoskeleton. All septins are GTP …

Of the many pathogens that infect humans and animals, a large number use cells of the host
organism as protected sites for replication. To reach the relevant intracellular compartments …

Sepsis is an often deadly complication of infection in which systemic inflammation damages
the vasculature, leading to tissue hypoperfusion and multiple organ failure. Currently, the …

Vimentin is an intermediate filament protein that plays key roles in integration of cytoskeletal
