Rab5 is a cellular GTPase essential for endocytic clearance of invading pathogens. This study from Shino Tanaka, Hiromu Oide, Tomoko Kubori, Kohei Arasaki (Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences) and colleagues reveals that the bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila ubiquitinates Rab5 to recruit a Rab5 inactivator RabGAP-5 to its phagosome, thereby excluding Rab5 and facilitating its intracellular replication.
Through a mouse study, scientists have found that aspirin may help prevent metastases, or secondary tumors, by boosting the body’s immune response.
The behaviour of quantum fields in curved spacetime is simulated using a two-dimensional trapped quantum gas of potassium atoms with a configurable trap and adjustable interaction strength.
Predictions on the dawn of the AI singularity vary wildly but scientists generally say it will come before 2040, according to new analysis, slashing 20 years off previous predictions.
In a week in which the Global Plastics Treaty is being negotiated, researchers from RIKEN & the University of Tokyo unveil a solution for marine pollution.
Scientists Develop Hydrogel That Heals Wounds in Just 24 Hours! Researchers at UCLA have created a groundbreaking human skin-like hydrogel that repairs wounds 90% in just 12 hours and fully heals them within 24 hours! ✔This futuristic material mimics real skin, speeding up tissue regeneration like never before. While still in testing, this could revolutionize wound care, making slow healing a thing of the past. #wounds #superskin #skin #Health #healthylifestyle
