Full-body defense does not always look the way textbooks say it should. In planarian flatworms, a newly identified cell type appears to protect the body by bursting apart, releasing a lethal chemical ...
Biofilm of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Rod-shaped and spherical bacteria. E. coli, Pseudomonas, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA. 3D illustration ...
In a new study, researchers show how so‑called TriPcides can target the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, including antibiotic‑resistant strains such as MRSA. The compounds disrupt the bacteria's ...
A research team has discovered a previously unknown mechanism by which the immune system fights bacterial infections. The scientists found that a specific protein, the chloride channel PACC1, is ...
Competitive Exam explainers | Science and Technology: Antimicrobial resistance is emerging as one of the world's gravest ...
As antibiotic resistance continues to rise worldwide, scientists are searching for new strategies to combat infections. This latest research at Trinity Translational Medicine Institute at Trinity ...

These cells explode to destroy everything around them
A cell capable of exploding like a tiny biological grenade has just been identified in flatworms. Named "ruptoblast," it ...
A Caltech-led team of biochemists has homed in on an underexplored small transporter called MurJ that is a vital part of the pathway bacteria use to build their chain-mail-like cell wall. An essential ...
Scientists have discovered that a chemical signal called autoinducer-2 (AI-2), which bacteria use to communicate with each other, is able to promote an appropriate level of beneficial gut microbes.
