Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

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

Bacterial cell division is a fundamental biological process that ensures the propagation of life through a precisely orchestrated set of events. Central to this process is the formation of the Z ring, ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have uncovered how the bacteria that causes tuberculosis fuels ...

In what they labeled a "surprising" finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the ...

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending ...

New study shows how bacteria adapted a virus-derived injection system to recognize and attach to many different types of cells. By systematically identifying thousands of rapidly evolving ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...
