Hijacking Rho GTPases by protein toxins and apoptosis: molecular strategies of pathogenic bacteria
Certain bacterial toxins and type-III-translocated virulence factors have a peculiar property: they exert part of their actions by modulating Rho GTPases. These toxins target the actin cytoskeleton of host cel...

Cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 hinders skeletal muscle differentiation in vitro by perturbing the activation/deactivation balance of Rho GTPases
The current knowledge assigns a crucial role to the Rho GTPases family (Rho, Rac, Cdc42) in the complex transductive pathway leading to skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Their exact function in myogenesis,...

Open AccessMeasurement of the water vapour permeability of earth plasters using small-scale wind tunnels under variable air flow regimes
To determine the water vapour permeability of porous building materials, the wet cup and dry cup tests are frequently performed. Those tests have shown to present high discrepancy. The water vapour permeabilit...
