New study shows how bacteria adapted a virus-derived injection system to recognize and attach to many different types of ...

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 ...

How do bacteria - harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease - organize their activities? A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, ...

Researchers showed that the way in which genes are turned on and off as bacteria grow provide clues to their regulation. Bacterial infections cause millions of deaths each year, with the global threat ...

The problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has many health experts worried. As disease-causing bacteria adapt to some of ...

E. coli divides faster than it can replicate its genome, while simultaneously expressing its genes. Scientists recently revealed the intricate molecular coordination that makes this possible. “It’s as ...

Given the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, novel ways to target bacterial infections are becoming increasingly important. One potential strategy is to manipulate bacterial genes at the ...

Antibiotic resistance continues to be a worldwide problem. Researchers are use AI computer modeling to help design new compounds. The Conversation — Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health ...

New research shows that the gene PTPN2 helps regulate gut bacteria and plays a key role in protecting the body from excessive inflammation. Scientists at the, Riverside, are uncovering how a single ge ...
