The Drosophila Baramicin polypeptide gene protects against fungal infection

Bruno Lemaitre, Mark Austin Hanson, Igor Iatsenko, Alice Marra

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster combats microbial infection by producing a battery of effector peptides that are secreted into the haemolymph. Technical difficulties prevented the investigation of these short effector genes until the recent advent of ...

Dynamic lane restrictions on congested arterials

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Paul Richard Anderson

Buses operating in mixed traffic experience problems with delay and travel time variability in peak periods. Numerous transit priority measures are found in the literature but most rely on separating buses from other vehicles. Complete separation such as d ...

More Than Black or White: Melanization and Toll Share Regulatory Serine Proteases in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre, Jan Paul Dudzic, Mark Austin Hanson, Igor Iatsenko

The melanization response is an important defense mechanism in arthropods. This reaction is mediated by phenoloxidases (POs), which are activated by complex extracellular serine protease (SP) cascades. Here, we investigate the role of SPs in the melanizati ...

Complex magnetic incommensurability and electronic charge transfer through the ferroelectric transition in multiferroic Co3TeO6

Helmuth Berger, Yang Zhao

Polarized and unpolarized neutron diffractions have been carried out to investigate the nature of the magnetic structures and transitions in monoclinic Co3TeO6. As the temperature is lowered below 26 K long range order develops, which is fully incommensura ...

Different flavors of Toll guide olfaction

Bruno Lemaitre

Toll-like receptors are historically linked to immunity across animal phyla, but accumulating evidence suggests they play additional roles in neuronal networks and in cell-cell interactions. Ward and colleagues now identify Toll-6 and Toll-7 as instructive ...

Atomic and electronic structure of a Rashba p-n junction at the BiTeI surface

Marco Grioni, Oleg Yazyev, Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon, Gabriel Albert Autes, Cédric Tournier-Colletta

The non-centro-symmetric semiconductor BiTeI exhibits two distinct surface terminations that support spin-split Rashba surface states. Their ambipolarity can be exploited for creating spin-polarized p-n junctions at the boundaries between domains with diff ...
