Thioredoxin 1 (TrxA) is an enzyme that reduces disulfide bonds in the bacterial cytosol. Here, the AUs show that TrxA can function as a chaperone of the secreted bacterial ADP-ribosyltransferase ...

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 ...

Their results, which examine the process in bacteria, are published in the journal Science. "Understanding how the ribosome captures or 'recruits' the mRNA is a prerequisite for everything that ...

Solar-powered lasers that run on the photosynthetic machinery of bacteria could one day provide a low mass, simple and sustainable means of providing power in space, replacing the usual heavy ...

Dec. 2, 2024 — A new study finds that two subtypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) produce five to 16 times more protective capsular 'slime' when Enterococcus faecalis (EF) is present ...

Antibiotics are substances that inhibit the growth of bacteria. They work by killing bacteria or preventing their reproduction, and may be synthesized chemically or by naturally-occurring or ...

Chronic exposure to hyperglycemia can lead to cellular dysfunction that may become irreversible over time, a process that is termed glucose toxicity. Our perspective about glucose toxicity as it ...

A new interactive map shows which wild swimming spots are teeming with life-threatening bacteria after a new study found one in ten in the UK are contaminated. Dozens of locations along coasts ...
