If people don't get proper treatment, all types of anthrax have the potential to spread through the body and cause death ...

Their experimental results showed that when exposed to a lethal toxin or to B. anthracis, mice with either modified MEK1/2 or MEK3/6 had much greater survival than normal animals, indicating that ...

Anthrax uses a receptor on the surface of cells to inject its lethal toxins. However, the physiological function of this receptor, named Anthrax Toxin Receptor 2a (Antxr2a), remained unknown until ...

Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin (LT) is a determinant of lethal anthrax. Its function in myeloid cells is required for bacterial dissemination, and LT itself can directly trigger dysfunction of ...

There's still a great clinical need for developing non-opioid pain therapies that are not addictive but that are effective in silencing pain - the answer could be the anthrax toxin.

Anthrax conjures thoughts of bioterrorism, though it's a disease caused by a rare but naturally-occurring bacterium, Bacillus anthracis. Scientists have now found that a toxin produced by the ...

Anthrax has a scary reputation. Widely known to cause serious lung infections in humans and unsightly, albeit painless, skin lesions in livestock and people, the anthrax bacterium has even been used a ...

“Anthrax toxins are composed of PA, which binds to ANTXR2, and the protein cargoes EF and LF,” they further wrote.

Anthrax toxins are composed of several molecules secreted by the anthrax bacterium. On their own each protein is non-toxic, but in combination they can be lethal.

Disarmed anthrax toxin is being tested as a way of fighting the Covid-19 virus. Scientists at the University of Greenwich are collaborating with the Bundeswehr Institute for Microbiology to ...

Anthrax is a disease caused by a bacterium, known as Bacillus anthracis, which releases a toxin that causes the skin to break down and forms ulcers, and triggers pneumonia and muscle and chest pain.
