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 are among the smallest living things. A single bacterium consists of just one cell. Not all bacteria are harmful. There are different unicellular organisms and types of bacteria.

Students could make models of bacterial cells out of balloons. They could label them with the parts of cells and include relevant functions. After watching this short film, students could repeat ...

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 ...
