Pathogen-induced actin filament rearrangement in infectious diseases.
The Journal of pathology 2004;
204(
4):.
Host defence mechanisms involve the establishment and maintenance of numerous barriers to infectious microbes, including skin and mucosal surfaces, connective tissues, and a sophisticated immune system to detect and destroy invaders. Defeating these defence mechanisms and breaching the cell membrane barrier is the ultimate challenge for most pathogens. By invading the host and, moreover, by penetrating into individual host cells, pathogens gain access to a protective niche, not only to avoid immune clearance, but also to replicate and to disseminate from cell to cell within the infected host. Many pathogens are accomplishing these challenges by exploiting the actin cytoskeleton in a highly sophisticated manner as a result of having evolved common as well as unique strategies.
