A recombinant protein is a protein made by genetically engineered cells rather than extracted directly from its natural source. Scientists insert the gene for the desired protein into a production ...

In the pursuit of understanding the pathogenic expression mechanisms of bacteria and the advancements in biofoundry technology, identifying and analyzing protein-DNA binding sites is crucial.

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...

When antibiotics attack bacterial infections, some microbes often persist. The reasons why some bacteria die while their genetically identical counterparts survive have puzzled scientists, but a new ...

Gut bacteria aren’t just passive passengers—they can actively send proteins straight into our cells. Using microscopic injection systems, even harmless microbes can influence immune responses and ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown bacterial protein, the structure of which is being used in the design of protein nanoparticles for the targeted delivery of anticancer drugs to tumors.

How do bacteria regulate the production of their proteins? Researchers at the University of Hamburg, in collaboration with international partners, have now demonstrated how small protein building ...

To enhance CAR T therapies, scientists are actively studying TCR signaling and T-cell exhaustion mechanisms to improve CAR T persistence and function. Additionally, there is a growing trend towards ...

AI helped design a working virus that kills bacteria. Researchers explain what it could mean for the fight against antibiotic ...

New research reveals that what we eat, down to the type of dietary protein, can tip the balance between Vibrio cholerae and the gut microbiota, reshaping bacterial competition and disease potential ...
