A technique developed by Politecnico di Milano researchers is enabling scientists to control specific bacterial functions ...

BEST4/CA7 + cells, regulate electrolyte and water balance in response to bacterial toxins that cause diarrhea. Their findings, published in Cell Stem Cell, show that these cells greatly increase ...

EZ-Spread™ Plating Beads from AMSBIO (Oxford, UK) allow you to spread bacterial and yeast cells across the surface of an agar plate in just seconds. Eliminating the traditional need for glass rods and ...

Study unveals a novel protective mechanism in bacterial cell wall Date: September 26, 2024 Source: Umea University Summary: Researchers have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria that ...

Researchers at Umeå University in Sweden published a study “Breaking barriers: pCF10 type 4 secretion system relies on a self-regulating muramidase to modulate the cell wall” in mBIO that ...

When the researchers grew cancer cells and CD8 + T cells together in petri dishes that had been acidified to a 5.3 pH, the cancer cells were spared while the CD8 + T cells perished within three ...

Bacterial cells are encased in a cell wall, which is required to maintain cell shape and to confer physical strength to the cell. The cell wall allows bacteria to cope with osmotic and environmental ...

But scientists don’t understand a fundamental process within bacteria cells: how they organize themselves before division. When cells divide the cell splits into two “daughter cells” with the same ...

The bacterial cell wall must be constantly remodeled in order to grow and divide. This involves the close coordination of lytic enzymes and peptidoglycan synthesis. Researchers led by Prof. Dr. Martin ...

We conclude that bacterial chromosome ... below for segregation in a round cell). We can translate the above qualitative descriptions into a rigorous phase diagram that can tell us the ...

But this nesting-doll-like setup has another, more harmful effect: the bacteria secrete a deadly molecular syringe, 100 nanometers long, that latches onto the insect’s cells. Once attached to a ...
