The Buzz about ADP-Ribosylation Toxins from Paenibacillus larvae, the Causative Agent of American Foulbrood in Honey Bees

The Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium Paenibacillus larvae is the etiological agent of American Foulbrood, a highly contagious and often fatal honey bee brood disease.The species P.larvae comprises five so-called ERIC-genotypes which differ in virulence and pathogenesis strategies.In the past two decades, the identification and characterizatio

Overexpression of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor and Its Homologue D-Dopachrome Tautomerase as Negative Prognostic Factor in Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma (NB) represents one of the most frequent pediatric solid tumors.Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine exerting multiple biological functions.More recently, a second member of the MIF family of cytokine has been identified, the D-dopachrome tautomerase (DDT), that exerts several overlapping functions with MIF.Growi
