Functional and intricate interaction network connecting Helicobacter pylori Cag Type 4 Secretion System surface proteins with outer membrane proteins HopQ and HopZ
The Helicobacter pylori cag pathogenicity island ( cag PAI) encodes a complex type IV secretion system (CagT4SS) which is an important virulence factor of H. pylori . Recently, structural detail on th...

Zoom into a human cell infected by Shigella, the bacteria behind dysentery. Using cryo-EM, @leaswistak.bsky.social and team revealed how it pierces cells with molecular syringes. Stunning science at the nanoscale.

Fancy an all-you-can-eat salmon buffet? Then head on over to Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska.
It's the salmon run season right now, and the waterfall is absolutely swarming with bears. They've all gotten so chubby from feasting.
🐻🧸 Yummy..
