Bacterial pathogenicity: improving understanding of an essential process – molecule secretion
Bacteria are not just passive; they are capable of interacting with their close environment. How? One way is by secreting molecules outside their envelope using complex protein machinery. Scientists have recently elucidated the formation mechanisms underpinning one of these secretion systems, thereby paving the way for potential therapeutic applications.

Cancer: the role of substrate rigidity in tumor migration
Among the characteristics defining our constituent organs are their different rigidities. Changes in these physical properties occur during tumor development. Tumors use the rigidity of their surrounding environment to facilitate their migration to neighboring tissue, which in turn facilitates tumor invasion and metastasis. Scientists at the Institut Pasteur have identified a new element enabling...
