Unusual Activity of a Chlamydomonas TET/JBP Family Enzyme.
The Great Oxygenation Event, which occurred on earth around 2.45 billion years ago, opened up the niche for enzymes that could directly oxidize substrates using molecular oxygen (O2), including the 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) and...

A zebrafish model for Mycobacterium leprae granulomatous infection
Understanding the pathogenesis of leprosy granulomas has been hindered by a paucity of tractable experimental animal models. Mycobacterium leprae, which causes leprosy, grows optimally at ~30°C, so we sought to model...

Mycobacterium marinum phthiocerol dimycocerosates enhance macrophage phagosomal permeabilization and membrane damage.
Phthiocerol dimycocerosates (PDIMs) are a class of mycobacterial lipids that promote virulence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium marinum. It has recently been shown that PDIMs work in concert with the M....

Cognitive Rigidity, Habitual Tendencies, and Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms
Recent theories have posited a range of cognitive risk factors for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), including cognitive inflexibility and a maladaptive reliance on habits. However, empirical and methodological...

Revisiting the timetable of tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis has a much shorter incubation period than is widely thought, say Marcel A Behr and colleagues, and this has implications for prioritising research and public health strategies

A zebrafish model for ocular tuberculosis.
Ocular tuberculosis (TB) commonly causes severe inflammation and vision loss in TB-endemic countries. The mechanism by which tuberculous infection becomes established in the eye is poorly understood. We have developed the...

Is Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection life long?
People with immunoreactivity to tuberculosis are thought to have lifelong asymptomatic infection and remain at risk for active tuberculosis. Marcel A Behr and colleagues argue that most of these people are no longer infected

TNF induces pathogenic mitochondrial ROS in tuberculosis through reverse electron transport
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a critical host resistance factor against tuberculosis. However, excess TNF produces susceptibility by increasing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS), which initiate a signaling cascade to...

Delay of Initial Feeding of Zebrafish Larvae Until 8 Days Postfertilization Has No Impact on Survival or Growth Through the Juvenile Stage.
The use of early-stage zebrafish for biomedical research spans early organogenesis to free-swimming larva. A key benefit of this model organism is that repeated assessments spanning several days can be performed of individual...
