The discovery of Cat1 reveals how CARF effectors use complex structures to inhibit viral replication, advancing our ...

Among the most important PAMPs is flagellin, the main protein in bacterial flagella—the whip-like structures bacteria use to propel themselves. "Early detection of the enemy is a central tenet ...

"This process of DNA transfer, called bacterial conjugation, has long been studied on solid surfaces," said Prof. Ben-Yehuda. "What we found is that in liquid, it's the rotation of the flagella ...

An underwater robot can delicately propel itself in any direction with its 12 flexible arms, inspired by the flagella of bacteria. Its creators claim it can carry out underwater inspections ...

The research team discovered that the rotation of flagella in Bacillus subtilis acts as a mechanical signal that activates key conjugation genes. This enables donor bacteria to form clusters with ...

Researchers believe they have identified a new class of antibiotics ... which was found to be effective against drug-resistant bacteria. The results were published this week in the journal ...

The discovery of the all-new class of antibiotics responds to a critical need for new antimicrobial medicines, as bacteria and other microorganisms evolve new ways to withstand existing drugs.

Early on in the research, the scientists discovered that it was the bacterial flagella—part of the cell that aids in movement—that enables the bacteria to invade cancer cells. So they ...

One theory is that the enzymes prevent pathogens from invading plant roots by disabling their flagella ... Britley Jones from the Class of 2023. Kaeli Ficco, another key contributor and a Princeton ...

The protein that makes up flagella, called flagellin ... Britley Jones, a member of Princeton's Class of 2023, played a key role in screening the bacterial collection as part of her senior ...

One such study in the Research Topic focused on the tight adherence (Tad) pili, a unique Type IV class C pilus ... RNA chaperones in bacterial pathogenesis Moving beyond structural components and ...
