TL;DR: A new role for chemokines in the regulation of adipose tissue is revealed and a novel therapeutic basis for the treatment of obesity, diabetes and cachexia is suggested.

TL;DR: It is found that proliferation of N. meningitidis in contact with host cells increased the transcription of a bacterial gene encoding a transferase that adds phosphoglycerol onto type IV pili, which allowed propagation of the bacterium to new colonization sites and also migration across the epithelium, a prerequisite for dissemination and invasive disease.

TL;DR: The increased expression of Cit-SAP in NaCl-treated cultured citrus cells and in citrus plants irrigated with saline water, and its similarity to GP, raise the possibility that one of the effects of salt stress in plants may be the increase of the level of free radicals.

TL;DR: In insights into the adhesion-dependent events at the tumour–stroma interface that govern the collective mode of migration adopted by carcinoma cells to invade surrounding stroma in HNSCC, it is shown that migration of carcinoma collectives on fibrillar FN-rich matrices is achieved through αvβ6 and α9β1 engagement, rather than α5β1.
