Structural role of the host cytoskeleton during invasion of intracellular pathogens

在细菌感染期间，细胞的“骨架”在感知入侵细菌并摧毁它们方面起着关键作用。为了对抗这种情况，细菌进化出了劫持细胞骨架的策略，以促进它们自己的生存和传播。这种有趣的分子军备竞赛正在不断地共同进化。详细了解这一过程将有可能设计出新的治疗方法来对抗细菌和病毒感染。

During infection by bacteria, the 'skeleton' of cells plays critical roles in sensing the invading germs and destroying them. To counteract this, bacteria have evolved strategies to hijack the cell skeleton to promote their own survival, and spread. This intriguing molecular arms race is continuously co-evolving. Understanding this process in great details will have the potential to design novel therapeutics to counteract bacterial and viral infections.
