Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...
For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...
Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates ...
An innovative imaging technique developed at Carnegie Mellon University reveals single bacterial cells leaving their biofilm community. Watching the bacteria in real-time at high resolution affords ...
Biologists from ETH Zurich have discovered speargun- like molecular injection systems in two types of bacteria and have described their structure for the first time. The special nanomachines are used ...
A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell division in bacteria, based on the binding of the MraZ ...
Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending the gut. The protein strengthens the mucus layer that lines the ...
