Innate immune proteins also regulate cytoskeletal dynamics to effectively restrict bacterial pathogens, highlighting the interdependence between the cytoskeleton and cell-autonomous immunity.

This would be similar to how the chemotherapy drug, taxol, suppresses the motion of the cytoskeleton in cancer cells. Bacterial cell division as target The rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria ...

Well-fed bacteria in rich, sterile culture can divide every half hour or so. The cytoskeleton is the linchpin of efficient cell growth and division, but researchers are only starting to explain how.

Now biophysics research at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has taken a closer look at a cell's cytoskeleton and found a new purpose: It aids in energy transfer and information ...

They provide structure for the body and tissues, enter wounds to close them or chase down bacteria in our blood. The mobility of cells is a prerequisite for a variety of essential biological functions ...

The researchers then employed the Crispr platform, in which two proteins are used to insert genetic code into the DNA of target cells - in this case, those of E.coli bacteria. For the gif ...

Surrounded by nutrients and undetected by the immune system, the interior of a cell is the ideal place for pathogenic bacteria to reproduce ... Septins are part of the cytoskeleton and serve ...
