This valuable study proposes a novel rapid-entry mechanism of S. aureus that involves the rapid release of calcium from lysosomes. The strength of the paper lies in a very interesting hypothesis; what ...
Toxic metabolic substances produced by bacteria may injure cells inside the intestine and interfere with absorption. This results in nutrient deficiencies, food allergies and intolerances, and ...
rustigianii carries a cytolethal distending toxin virulence gene on its plasmid. Elimination of this gene did not reduce the bacteria's virulence, however ... The type III secretion system was found ...
Over the years, chemical biology methods have made an important contribution to the study of integral membrane proteins. A key modern approach is genetic code expansion (GCE), which makes it ...
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed an innovative approach to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria by creating a "tagging" technique that helps the immune system ...
"Learning and memory are generally associated with brains and brain cells alone, but our study shows that other cells in the body can learn and form memories, too," explains New York University's ...
As is so often the case in science, this finding solved one mystery about the roles these unstructured rogue proteins play in the cell only to open another deeper question about what biomolecular ...
Researchers have also detected biomolecular condensates in prokaryotic, or bacterial, cells, which traditionally were defined as not containing organelles. This finding could have profound effects ...
Summary: New research has unveiled how gut bacteria play a key role in regulating stress by interacting with circadian ... paving the way for new therapeutic approaches targeting the gut-brain axis.
