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

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 ...

Gas vesicles are among the largest known protein nanostructures produced and assembled inside microbial cells. These hollow, ...

Targeted protein degradation presents a promising strategy to address antimicrobial resistance, focusing on innovative ...

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

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

The cost-effective, easy-to-use T7 expression system has been integral to Escherichia coli protein production since its introduction in 1986. Now, a just-developed enhancement is making it even better ...

What if bacteria held the keys to a part of our own immunity? For several years, some scientists have been exploring unexpected links between human proteins involved in the body's defense and certain ...

Scientists in Australia have developed a smart, bacteria-repelling coating based on resilin the ultra-elastic protein that gives fleas their legendary jumping power. When applied to surfaces like ...

Amyloids are perhaps best known as a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease. The amorphous proteins, found throughout the human body, stick to nerve cells like plaque, choking off their function and ...
