Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published today in Nature Communications. The subtle changes might be enough to alter the binding site of ...

Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the ...

Researchers have discovered that a key bacterial protein, CsrA, gathers in a droplet-like structure inside cells to control when and how bacteria activate their disease-causing genes. This newly ...

Each year, bacterial infections are responsible for roughly 7.7 million deaths worldwide, with this problem further ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led by researchers at Helmholtz Munich, with participation from Ludwig ...

Scientists create powerful metallic antibiotics using robotic chemistry, capable of eliminating lethal bacteria without ...
