We have since then observed the paucity of stromal keratocytes in the zone surrounding the infected area in all types of corneal infections, prompting us to speculate that it is possibly a host mediated response to an infectious process.
The presence of a Vasohibin ortholog in schistosomes might suggest a potential angiogenesis inhibition process in the host, mediated by schistosomes' molecules.
RB has no known enzymatic activities, but functions in a host of processes by mediating protein interactions that are important for multiple phenotypes [ 4- 7].
Instead, herpesviruses remodel host membranes, a process mediated in part by viral kinases (i.e., HCMV pUL97, Figure 2).
In this report, using live imaging microscopic evidence, we revisited and further investigated the previously described amastigote exit from host cells (Rittig et al., 1998; Rittig and Bogdan, 2000); we propose that host cell exit of Leishmania takes place from damaged host cells, in a process mediated by parasitophorous extrusions.
In addition, the infectivity of A. ervi shows host preferences mediated through host fidelity of some populations, demonstrated by significant differences in infectivity across the different hosts studied.
The entry of the dengue virus into the host cell is a complex process, mediated mainly by E glycoprotein.
Tumor metastasis is a complex and highly regulated process involving multiple tumor-host interactions, mediated by various host- and tumor-derived factors [ 50, 51].
The cell surface of pathogenic fungi plays a key role in the host-fungus interplay, mediating various processes associated with pathogenesis.
Emerging data demonstrate that SP-A and SP-D also mediate a host defence function [ 16].
Though integrin cytoplasmic tails are typically short, they mediate a host of critical interactions.
