AbstractThe obligate intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii establishes an intracellular replicative niche termed the Coxiella-containing vacuole (CCV), which has been characterised as a bacterially modified phagolysosome. How C. burnetii withstands the acidic and degradative properties of this compartment is not well understood. We demonstrate that the key lysosomal protease cathepsin B is actively and selectively removed from C.

I never used to associate the University of Cambridge with accessible mental health care. After arriving here, though, doors immediately opened to a level of treatment I spent years searching for within the NHS; the University, and the city of Cambridge, get many things right when it comes to mental health care.

And are his motives altruistic and in favour of preserving children’s health? Or is this just a moral scare, part of the culture wars he’s waged since he began his premiership?

The student vote has become an oxymoron in current politics. Keir Starmer’s New New Labour must persuade an overeducated and underemployed generation that Labour is more than just ‘not the Tories’.

2023 was a year of nostalgia. Continuing a trend set during lockdown, style, film and music for the youth of today has all followed the same pattern - Y2K rules!
