Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led ...

Imagine two people talking over a walkie-talkie set. Successful communication depends on them being tuned to the same frequency. If others try to communicate nearby, interference can occur, and ...

Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella ...

In both mouse and human models of wound healing, infection with S. aureus activated the bacterium's accessory gene regulator (agr) quorum-sensing system, a molecular "switch" that controls bacterial ...

Recent research from Princeton (N.J.) University revealed bacteria are influenced by the physical characteristics and flow of fluid in the environments they’re invading. That means the flow of fluid ...

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have uncovered how a ...

Molecular communication allows 600 different species of bacteria to organize themselves into the slimy dental plaque that leads to tooth decay, for example, and it likely enables the nasty pathogens ...
