A Franco-British team of scientists has explored two human proteins recently identified as immune enzymes. Structural studies ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New research overturns that view, revealing that some condensates are built from ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

We are continually in an evolutionary arms race with bacteria. As we develop new antibiotics, they develop resistance, and so ...

New study shows how bacteria adapted a virus-derived injection system to recognize and attach to many different types of cells. By systematically identifying thousands of rapidly evolving ...

Bacterial colonies are far more than simple "piles of cells." They are dynamic, multicellular-like systems characterized by ...
