So there is a need, they say, for medicines that can work against a broad array of germs, as well as for techniques for quickly devising countermeasures when a new threat arises.
The harlequin's array of germ-fighting chemicals helps it shrug off pathogens when it invades new territory, the researchers report today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. See more ScienceShots.
Microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) use an array of germ-line encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to activate signaling pathways in host cells [8], [9].
These results demonstrated that the dynactin complex is required for the formation of regular arrays of germ-line nuclei to the surface of the gonads, which is consistent with the requirement of dynein in this process.
Although scientists have long known that the skin of fire-bellied toads contains a variety of small antimicrobial proteins, or peptides, researchers have now found that the amphibians' brains harbor a vast array of these germ killers as well.
Transgenic and knock-out technologies have been utilized to generate an array of different p53 germ line alterations.
Your daily dental cleansing tool may be a cesspool of germs, containing an array of harmful bacteria, including fecal matter, according to research.

"There is no clear demarcation line between the FBI and FEMA, and knowledge about disease and hazardous materials is spread over a broad array of institutions," says Zachary Selden, a germ-warfare boffin.
Interestingly, in several cases the proliferation of germ cells in one gonad arm lacking the array appeared to be rescued by INX-8 GFP INX-8 GFP in progexpressionving rise to the other gonad arm.
