Studying bacterial interactions with actin is still throwing up new mysteries. These microbes all enjoy at least part of their lives shielded from the onslaught of white blood cells, antibodies, and ...

Most major biological molecules, including all proteins, DNA and RNA, point in one direction or another. In other words, they ...

A revolutionary approach to immune therapy has emerged: engineered immune cells that protect healthy tissue without ...

Discover the importance of antibiotics, bacterial cell walls, and resistance mechanisms in fighting bacterial infections effectively.

Phages are viruses that attack bacteria by injecting their DNA, then usurping bacterial machinery to reproduce. Eventually, ...

Some bacteria abide against antibiotics not because they are good at hiding, but because their growth slows when nutrients ...

Within the biofilm, bacteria are protected from attacks by phages, immune cells, and antibiotics. The fact that bacteria across species respond to the same danger signal suggests a universal ...
