A Special Protein in Your Gut Has The Power to Neutralize Bacteria
(Sebastian Kaulitzki/Science Photo Library/Getty Images) Researchers have discovered that a particular protein in the gut is fighting an important battle against the spread of bacteria. Through a ...
The intestines are home to trillions of microorganisms that produce substances capable of regulating all the body's organs via the bloodstream and the gut's nervous system. Yet, only little is known ...
Bacterial gene regulation is a finely tuned process essential for cellular adaptation and survival. Central to this regulation are nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs), which not only compact the ...
Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...
Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led by researchers at Helmholtz Munich, with participation from Ludwig ...
Bacterial chromosome dynamics and gene regulation are intimately linked through a finely orchestrated interplay between the physical organization of the chromosome and the molecular processes that ...
