Microbes & Host Cell Membrane Interactions
From binding and altering signaling cascades at the cell surface, to membrane penetration and hijacking of intracellular host membranes, microbes and their toxins interact with host cell membranes in seemingly endless ways with sometimes devastating results for the host. In this PLOS collection featuring research from PLOS Pathogens and PLOS ONE we highlight the variety of processes used by different bacteria and viruses to interact with and use their hosts' membranes.
