Dopamine Is a Siderophore-Like Iron Chelator That Promotes Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Virulence in Mice
ABSTRACT We have recently shown that the catecholamine dopamine regulates cellular iron homeostasis in macrophages.As iron is an essential nutrient for microbes, and intracellular iron availability affects the growth of intracellular bacteria, we studied whether dopamine administration impacts the course of Salmonella infections.Dopamine was found
Hiding in plain sight: the biomolecular identification of pinniped use in medieval manuscripts
The survival of medieval manuscripts in their original bindings remains a rare occurrence.Taking advantage of the diversity of bindings in Cistercian libraries such as Clairvaux and its daughter abbeys during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, this study focuses on the biocodicological analysis of medieval manuscript bindings, with particular em
