Yersinia bacteria use a membrane protein called Invasin to attach to human cells—a clever trick that the researchers decided to repurpose. "We started to think out of the box and try something ...

New nanostructured alumina surfaces offer unprecedented antibacterial resistance, fostering safer cell culture environments ...

But many have also mastered a different sort of target that allows them to wield control over the rest of the cell without venturing into the cytoplasm: namely, lipid membranes. Some bacteria launch a ...

Understanding the differences between bacteria and viruses is crucial for recognizing how these microorganisms impact our health. While both are microscopic and can cause infections, they differ ...

Scientists develop self-propelling nanoparticles that can physically pierce and eliminate drug-resistant bacteria in eye infections, showing success in initial animal studies.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created nanostructured alumina surfaces which are strongly antibacterial but can be ...

Superbugs that are resistant to existing antibiotics are a growing health problem around the world. Globally, nearly five ...
