is a powerful technique that can measure membrane dynamics and identify changes with high accuracy and precision. We therefore combine ITIR-FCS with a segmentation algorithm to automatically identify ...

which leads to disruption of the outer cell membrane, leakage of intracellular contents and bacterial death. The most common mechanisms of resistance to colistin are modifications to ...

This membraneless compartment, resembling a droplet-like structure inside cells, acts as a temporary control center, regulating when and how bacteria activate their disease-causing genes.

Figure 1. Proposed mechanisms of antimicrobial peptide (AMP) action. AMPs target bacterial cells through various mechanisms, including disruption of the cell membrane and wall. These include (i) ...

Now, researchers have developed a building material made of mycelium—the tubular, branching filaments found in most fungi—and bacteria cells. As detailed in a study published last week in the ...

Structural studies of membrane proteins historically have relied almost exclusively on first removing membrane proteins from the membrane with dispersive agents like detergents. But dispersive agents ...
