The electrical potential across the bacterial cell envelope indicates when bacteria no longer operate as individual cells but as a collective. Researchers at the University of Cologne's Institute for ...

The MMP of CD8 + T cells could serve as a valuable predictor of BI and ACLF within 90 days in cirrhotic patients. The study was recently published in the Journal of Clinical and Translational ...

Some bacterial membrane transporters work almost like freight elevators to transport substances through the cell membrane into the interior of the cell. The transporter itself spans the bacterial ...

What if the Trojan horse had been pulled to pieces, revealing the ruse and fending off the invasion, just as it entered the ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Antibiotic resistance is emerging as one of the most pressing health challenges of the 21st century. As bacteria develop mechanisms to evade conventional drugs, treatments that ...

Gram-negative bacteria pose a significant threat to global health due to their high resistance to antibiotics compared to that of Gram-positive bacteria. Their formidable defensive capabilities stem ...

Researchers at TU Delft and partner organizations have built graphene sensors small enough to detect the vibrations of a ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, researchers developed a method to measure the maintenance or loss of antimicrobial peptide (AMP) activity for thousands of ...
