Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

Introduction Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), the leading cause of hospital-acquired diarrhoea, is primarily driven by two potent toxins, TcdA and TcdB. However, the molecular mechanisms ...

Scientists have found microplastics in human semen and follicular fluid, according to new research on a small group of adults ...

When tested on their own and in mice, these bacterial strains from the human microbiome show promise in accumulating PFAS ...

Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the rapid, selective transport of water—and in certain cases, small solutes such as glycerol—across cell membranes. In insects, these ...

Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins traditionally known for mediating water transport across cell membranes. Over recent decades, research has expanded their recognised roles to include the ...

Growing interest in health and the exposome—a person's collective environmental exposures—is spurring new funding and ...
