Structures of Ostα/β reveal a unique fold and bile acid transport mechanism - Nature
Cryogenic electron microscopy structures of human Ostα/β uncover a unique transport pathway featuring two substrate-binding sites connected by an amphipathic helix-gated conduit, and electrophysiological studies demonstrate voltage-sensitive, bidirectional transport, showing its efflux role in vivo.

A preventive food safety system will not replace laboratory testing.
It will precede it. The next regulatory evolution is not more data collection. It is earlier, mechanism-informed decisions..

An analysis of a decade of AMR surveillance data in foodborne pathogens (i.e., Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Escherichia coli) has identified patterns shaping multidrug resistance (MDR) in food animal production systems. #foodsafety
