Mycoplasma pneumoniae, responsible for approximately 30% of community-acquired human
pneumonia, needs to extract lipids from the host environment for survival and proliferation. …

Mycoplasma genitalium is a human pathogen adhering to host target epithelial cells and
causing urethritis, cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. Essential for infectivity is a …

Many human pathogens need to extract lipids from their environment for survival and proliferation.
How the lipid uptake is accomplished on a molecular level is largely unknown, and no …

Bacteria commonly exhibit a high degree of cellular organization and polarity which affect
many vital processes such as replication, cell division, and motility. In Shewanella and other …

The nap particle is an immunogenic surface adhesion complex from Mycoplasma genitalium.
It is essential for motility and responsible for binding sialylated oligosaccharides on the …

Lipid acquisition and transport are fundamental processes in all organisms, but many of the
key players remain unidentified. Here, we elucidate the lipid-cycling mechanism of the …

pneumonia, needs to extract lipids from the host environment for survival and proliferation. …

… We thank Utz Ermel, Lasse Sprankel and Prof. Achilleas Frangakis from the Electron
Microscopy Group at the University of Frankfurt for providing us with data. We also thank our …

Structural biology studies performed inside cells can capture molecular machines in action
within their native context. In this work, we developed an integrative in-cell structural …

Denoising, super-resolution and structure enhancement are classical image processing
applications. The motive behind their existence is to aid our visual analysis of raw digital images…
