Researchers at the University of Notre Dame and collaborators have discovered a key process in how the outer membrane of gram ...

One of the most intricate structures found in bacterial cells are magnetosomes of magnetotactic bacteria. These membrane-bound organelles contain tens-of-nanometre-sized crystals of a magnetic iron ...

A research team at the University of Greifswald's Research Training Group RTG-PRO "Proteases in pathogen and host: importance ...

Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...

Bacterial pathogens have evolved diverse strategies to manipulate host cells to establish infection. At a molecular level, this is often mediated by virulence factors that are secreted into host cells ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that bacteria can drive stem cell regeneration to repair the intestinal lining after injury—uncovering an unexpected way in which the gut ...

The benefits of dietary fiber extend beyond digestive health, as dietary fiber-derived metabolites produced by gut microbiota ...

Over the past two decades, high‑throughput sequencing has dramatically expanded our understanding of the gut microbiome's composition.

Bacteria can pass proteins between themselves, which induces a dormant state that helps a small group of them survive ...

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 ...
