Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and ...

Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the ...

Biologists from ETH Zurich have discovered speargun- like molecular injection systems in two types of bacteria and have described their structure for the first time. The special nanomachines are used ...

New study shows how bacteria adapted a virus-derived injection system to recognize and attach to many different types of cells. By systematically ...

In a recent study published in Nature Methods, researchers assessed a novel method for bacterial cell segmentation named Omnipose. Breakthroughs in microscopy are extremely promising for enabling ...

PHILADELPHIA - By combining two techniques, an international team of scientists led by researchers at The Wistar Institute has derived the "quasi-atomic" structure of a common bacteriophage, a type of ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...
