Characterization of a UPEC DegS Mutant in vitro and in vivo

Bradley et al. | Mar 16, 2015

Characterization of a UPEC <em>DegS</em> Mutant <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em>

DegS is an integral inner membrane protein in E. coli that helps break down misfolded proteins. When it is mutated, there is a large increase in the production of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), which are thought to play a role in pathogenesis. This study used mutant strains of uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) to characterize the role of DegS and OMVs on UPEC virulence.

Measuring the effect of early universe dark matter on the primordial values of helium-4 and deuterium

Recent observations by the “Extremely Metal-Poor Representatives Explored by the Subaru Survey” (EMPRESS) collaboration found normal deuterium levels but unexpectedly low helium-4, challenging current cosmological theories. This study used simulations with the PRyMordial package to test whether dark matter particles interacting with neutrinos in the early universe could explain the discrepancy.
