Abstract
In a recent issue of Cell, Coureuil et al. (2010) show that type IV pili of Neisseria meningitidis-the causative bacterium of cerebrospinal meningitis-bind to the endothelial β2-adrenoceptor and elicit biased β-arrestin signaling resulting in microvilli formation and paracytotic bacterial migration.
