Immune cells that eat bacteria in the body don’t stash them in specialized compartments as once thought, but turn them into critical nutrients that build proteins, create energy and keep the cells ...

Bacteria receiving human DNA can produce proteins such as insulin. Stem cells can potentially develop into specialised body parts.

When the bacterial cell eventually succumbs ... But the drug-delivery problem has at least two parts. Hsu's next challenge involves getting drugs absorbed from the gut into systemic circulation.

Eventually, a phage makes so many copies of itself that it will burst the bacterial cell it has infected ... The handshakes involve a large, central protein capable of using different parts of itself ...

The technique directs bacteria to produce synthetic disordered ... and assemble these parts inside the cell to make a new machine," Chilkoti said. "It was the beginnings of an emerging field ...

As well as degrading proteins, the proteosome surprisingly also functions in human defence against bacterial infection. By ...

Scientists have developed a new drug that could help fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a major threat to public health.

Using this approach, they have uncovered that bacteria assemble their nanoweapons in response to cell envelope damage and rapidly strike back with high precision. Some bacteria deploy tiny ...

has been published in the journal Molecular Cell. These bacterial enzymes, referred to as ubiquitin clippases, split the ubiquitin molecule into two parts in such a way that the released fragment ...
