University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...

New study shows how bacteria adapted a virus-derived injection system to recognize and attach to many different types of ...

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 ...

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 are also able to communicate with each other through chemical signals, a behavior known as quorum signaling (QS). These chemical signals spread through a biofilm that colonies of bacteria ...

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

The microbiome—the trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live quietly in our body—plays a crucial role in shaping human health by providing a variety of micronutrients necessary for vital ...

University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs.
