Mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways defend against bacterial pore-forming toxins.

abstract：:Cells are wrapped in inelastic membranes, yet they can sustain large mechanical strains by regulating their area. The area regulation in cells is achieved either by membrane folding or by membrane exo- and endocytosis. These processes involve complex morphological transformations of the cell membrane, i.e., invaginati...
