A transporter which some bacteria use to recycle fragments of their cell wall has been discovered. Researchers found that the transporter controls resistance to certain kinds of cell-wall targeting ...
The bacterial cell wall must be constantly remodeled in order to grow and divide. This involves the close coordination of lytic enzymes and peptidoglycan synthesis. Researchers led by Martin ...
Hygiene in everyday items that touch the body—such as clothing, masks, and toothbrushes—is critically important. The underlying principle of how graphene selectively eliminates only bacteria has now ...
A research team has discovered a previously unknown mechanism by which the immune system fights bacterial infections. The ...
A Franco-British team of scientists has explored two human proteins recently identified as immune enzymes. Structural studies in vitro show that, in a cell infected by a virus for example, these ...
