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

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

Hygiene in everyday items that touch the body—such as clothing, masks, and toothbrushes—is critically important. The underlying principle of how graphene selectively eliminates only bacteria has now ...

In a first-of-its-kind lab study, scientists prove that probiotic bacteria stimulate immediate and measurable changes in brain cell function, hinting at a new direct communication between your gut and ...

Researchers identify why graphene oxide selectively destroys bacteria while remaining safe for human cells, with applications from toothbrushes to sportswear.

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that bacteria can drive stem cell regeneration to repair the intestinal lining after injury—uncovering an unexpected way in which the gut ...

A new antibiotic that works by disrupting two different cellular targets would make it 100 million times more difficult for bacteria to evolve resistance, according to new research from the University ...

As antibiotic resistance continues to rise worldwide, scientists are searching for new strategies to combat infections. This ...
