This valuable study proposes a novel rapid-entry mechanism of S. aureus that involves the rapid release of calcium from lysosomes. The strength of the paper lies in a very interesting hypothesis; what ...

GEM Toronto competed at the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition in Paris, France in October ...

To enhance imaging contrast, we introduced a plasmid expressing mCherry fluorescent protein (pTrc99a-mcherry) into wild-type Escherichia coli HCB1, denoting it as HCB1-pTrc99a-mcherry. A ...

Members of the team had previously reported that P. rustigianii carries a cytolethal distending toxin virulence gene on its plasmid. Elimination of this gene did not reduce the bacteria's virulence, ...

NORDITROPIN is a polypeptide hormone of recombinant DNA origin. The hormone is synthesized by a special strain of E. coli ...

Over the years, chemical biology methods have made an important contribution to the study of integral membrane proteins. A key modern approach is genetic code expansion (GCE), which makes it ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed an innovative approach to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria by creating a "tagging" technique that helps the immune system ...

Eco-friendly and biodegradable plastic using bacteria has been developed at the University of the Philippines (UP) Los Baños, according to the report of Martin Javier for Game Changer on "24 Oras" on ...

This discovery led the team to test commonly available substances, such as zinc supplements. The researchers then tested various products on bacterial strains, observing a marked reduction in plasmid ...
