Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host cells and lost their ...

A screen of human-infecting viruses identified extensive examples of viral proteins that resembled human sequences, which ...

sparing healthy host cells; or patients with abnormal protein synthesis are treated to produce a healthy protein. Hiroshi Abe ...

The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes infects immune cells called macrophages by being taken up into a vacuole (1) before entering the cytoplasm where it lives and replicates (2). There, it ...

Cell death is crucial for organogenesis in ... Host and microbial factors that trigger caspase 1 activation, and the host NLR proteins that detect these molecules, have been the focus of recent ...

All bacteriophages are composed of a nucleic acid molecule that is surrounded by a protein structure. A bacteriophage attaches itself to a susceptible bacterium and infects the host cell.

Roksana Riddle and Christopher H. Contag from Michigan State University discuss the concept of endosymbiosis, how it has ...

This trick allows the bacteria to make themselves at home in the host cell and ... the treatment of cell or tissue samples with clippases allows us to identify which proteins were originally ...

Producing a productive cell line for protein expression requires a series of steps, from transfecting the original host cells to the selection and analysis of a final clone. As depicted here ...

Immunizing the host with a piece of viral DNA rather than an antigenic protein fragment of the virus, helps to stimulate the generation of cell-mediated immunity (Fig. 2). DNA vaccines contain the ...
