Functional analysis of Wolbachia Cid effectors unravels cooperative interactions to target host chromatin during replication.

Wolbachia are common bacteria among terrestrial arthropods.These endosymbionts transmitted through the female germline manipulate their host reproduction through several mechanisms whose most prevalent form called Cytoplasmic Incompatibility -CI- is a conditional sterility syndrome eventually favoring the infected progeny.Upon fertilization, the sp

Maternal vaginal microbiome composition does not affect development of the infant gut microbiome in early life

Birth mode has been implicated as a major factor influencing neonatal gut microbiome development, and it has been assumed that lack of exposure to the maternal vaginal microbiome is responsible for gut dysbiosis among caesarean-delivered infants.Consequently, practices to correct dysbiotic gut microbiomes, such as vaginal seeding, have arisen while

Singlet fermionic dark matter with Veltman conditions

We reexamine a renormalizable model of a fermionic dark matter with a gauge singlet Dirac fermion and a real singlet scalar which can ameliorate the scalar mass hierarchy problem of the Standard Model (SM).Our model setup is the minimal extension of the SM for which a realistic dark matter (DM) Harnesses candidate is provided and the cancellation o
