Commented on Exercise
I was not aware strength training increases sensitivity to insulin, interesting!

Article

Commented on Statins, Exercise, and Exercise Training∗
It would be interesting to see the effects of statins on physically active patients, as mentioned.

Article

Commented on Exercise: Exercise – great for your Elf
Were the diets of physically active and physically inactive jobs also studied?

Article

Commented on Infection-induced proteolysis of PGRP-LC controls the IMD activation and melanization cascades in Drosophila
Does drosophila microbiota affect IMD or even the toll pathway?

Article

Commented on Activation of Imd pathway in hemocyte confers infection resistance through humoral response in Drosophila
How large of a role is IMD (gram-negative targeting pathway) have on gram-negative infections?

Article

Commented on Oral Bacterial Infection and Shedding in Drosophila melanogaster
Are there major differences in fly survival or intestinal cfu if flies are continuously fed bacteria, not just for 24 hours?

Article

Commented on The Toll-Dorsal Pathway Is Required for Resistance to Viral Oral Infection in Drosophila
Was Toll pathway expression imaged in the various sections of the gut?

Article

Commented on Unexpected role of the IMD pathway in Drosophila gut defense against Staphylococcus aureus
Wonder if other gram-positive pathogens would have similar results?

Article

Commented on Mutations in the IMD Pathway and Mustard Counter Vibrio cholerae Suppression of Intestinal Stem Cell Division in Drosophila
How many other regulators for IMD exist in Drosophila? And, do they vary by region (i.e. gut versus fat body)?

Article

Commented on Clostridial pore-forming toxins: Powerful virulence factors
Is diphtheria a pore-forming toxin?

Article

Commented on Pore-forming toxins: ancient, but never really out of fashion
Can anyone help explain the difference between pore-forming toxins and pore-forming proteins? Are PFTs only bacterial products, while PFPs can be found in other organisms?

Article

Commented on Diphtheria
How often can patients become infected with diphtheria although they have completed the vaccination doses? And are boosters recommended for children as well, or only adults?

Article

Commented on Glycan region of GPI anchored-protein is required for cytocidal oligomerization of an anticancer parasporin-2, Cry46Aa1 protein, from Bacillus thuringiensis strain A1547
I wonder how the therapeutic aspect of Cry46Aa1 protein is going? Since it was seen to have selective cytotoxicity to colon cancer cells.

Article

Commented on Diphtheria
Is HB-EGF the only known receptor for diphtheria toxin?
