The expression of insect PGRPs is often upregulated by exposure to bacteria. Insect PGRPs are mainly inducers of proteolytic and signalling cascades. Each PGRP domain has one peptidoglycan-binding ...

The fact that bacteria across species respond to the same danger signal suggests a universal survival strategy. "Interestingly, human immune cells also recognize peptidoglycan fragments as an ...

Discover the importance of antibiotics, bacterial cell walls, and resistance mechanisms in fighting bacterial infections effectively.

The fact that bacteria across species respond to the same danger signal suggests a universal survival strategy. "Interestingly, human immune cells also recognize peptidoglycan fragments as an ...

Jack Strominger recounts his seminal work and contributions to understanding bacterial cell wall components ... I meant an antibody reaction—against peptidoglycan. My knowledge of immunology ...

My work is focused on the study of the bacterial cell wall using essentially two Gram-positive pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis) as models. I am interested in three major areas ...
