Escherichia coli remains a paradigm for understanding cellular signalling, with its chemotaxis system providing insights into how simple organisms navigate complex environments. At the core of this ...

Bacterial sensory systems represent a dynamic and rapidly evolving area at the intersection of molecular microbiology and biochemistry, where recent ...

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

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 ...

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

Researchers have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria that enhances the bacteria's defense against environmental threats. The discovery, which may be important for research into developing ...

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

That’s gene editing. On paper, it is merely the rearrangement of letters. However, the road to editing genes in hopes of a therapeutic benefit is difficult to travel. Additionally, researchers want ...

Viruses are effective tools for delivering genetic material into cells, and scientists have taken advantage of viral transduction in numerous ways, such as constructing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) ...

Efficient T-cell engineering is crucial for the success of CAR T-cell therapy research, but it requires multiple labor-intensive steps, including T-cell isolation, activation, and transduction.

Bacterial chemotaxis is a sophisticated behavioural process that enables microorganisms to navigate toward favourable environments by detecting subtle differences in chemical gradients. At the heart ...
