A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

In what they labeled a "surprising" finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the ...

Bacterial pathogenesis research has traditionally centered on canonical metabolic and virulence pathways, yet a critical facet of microbial survival and ...

From plant stems to bacterial shells, cell walls are far more than rigid barriers—they’re living, adapting structures.
