The Elixir Poetry Podcast: 11. The Brutality Of War: "This Is The Dark Truth About Human Nature!"
In this episode of Elixir, Helen is talking to Richard about an extract from book 22 of the Iliad by Homer.Richard explains the tale of Achilles, and hones in on the brutality of war which the story portrays. Richard is reminded of the Iliad by the violence he sees in the modern world as a war correspondent. How does Homer's work affect us today? All this and much more in this episode!Discover poetry through the heart of another…Find out more about the poems on Elixir and read them here!Recei...
VirB, a Key Transcriptional Regulator of Virulence Plasmid Genes in Shigella flexneri, Forms DNA-Binding Site-Dependent Foci in the Bacterial Cytoplasm
Research Article Jillian N. Socea, Grant R. Bowman, Helen J. Wing George O’Toole, Editor DOI: 10.1128/JB.00627-20 ABSTRACT VirB is a key regulator of genes located on the large virulence plasmid (pINV) in the bacterial pathogen Shigella flexneri. VirB is unusual, as it is not related to other transcriptional regulators; instead, it belongs to a family of proteins that primarily function in plasmid and chromosome partitioning, which is exemplified by ParB.

The Antiactivator of Type III Secretion, OspD1, Is Transcriptionally Regulated by VirB and H-NS from Remote Sequences in Shigella flexneri
Research Article Joy A. McKenna, Helen J. Wing Laurie E. Comstock, Editor DOI: 10.1128/JB.00072-20 ABSTRACT Shigella species, the causal agents of bacillary dysentery, use a type III secretion system (T3SS) to inject two waves of virulence proteins, known as effectors, into the colonic epithelium to subvert host cell machinery.
2020
The eulogies of a diaspora bear fruit in the homeland. I carry with my half-Arab, half-white body songs of Lebanon. So that when I step foot in Lehfed, after so many years away, I feel the elegiac rhythms in my path. I hear the call of lungs wet with life and earth in late April 1927 as I move through the streets of my grandmother’s birthplace, Brummana, nearly ninety years later. I stand next to the yellow-stoned sepulcher that is meant to conceal the stench and shock of bodies long gone.
The anti-activator of type III secretion, OspD1, is transcriptionally regulated by VirB and H-NS from remote sequences in Shigella flexneri.
Research Article Joy A. McKenna, Helen J. Wing DOI: 10.1128/JB.00072-20 ABSTRACT Shigella species, the causal agents of bacillary dysentery, use a type III secretion system (T3SS) to inject two waves of virulence proteins, known as effectors, into the colonic epithelium to subvert host cell machinery. Prior to host cell contact and secretion of the first wave of T3SS effectors, OspD1, an effector and anti-activator protein, prevents premature production of the second wave of effectors.
Making like a tree
I didn’t know she curled up in the dog basket under the table, a spaniel croissant, smelling of faster heartbeats and dough, waiting, pressing fingers into the tufts between leathery-paw outcrops, buttered ears and whisperings, when he came home.

Misrata dawn April 24, 2015 by Helen Wing Leave a Comment Helen Wing gives voice to the horrors perpetrated on young women and men in the 2011 Libyan uprising. — Misrata dawn The girls are quiet. There have been twenty of us before. The captain beats us until we do it, gives us five dinar as a reward. It is my first time with a woman. I like girls, especially sweet, dainty, quiet ones. I have four sisters like that at home.

Seven days of books from my childhood – Thoughts and deeds – Medium
I n a typical Facebook post, friends are asking each other to post covers of their favorite books. While I normally don’t follow the crowd in these kinds of memes, I found this one to be particularly appealing. I first saw these posts on Facebook about week ago, and to be honest, I hoped someone would nominate me. People seemed to be having a lot of fun with it. My friend and sorority sister Rosalyn Jackson Williams tagged me on Friday.
