which mediate ER interactions with other organelles, are known to be co-opted by other pathogens during infection. During infection by R. parkeri, VAP proteins were recruited to the bacteria; when ...

Scientists have translated nanoscale experimental and computational data into precise 3D representations of bacteria, yeast ...

In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive organelles, such as micro-compartments found in some bacteria, help organize cellular processes by concentrating ...

Mitochondria organelles came from primordial bacterial endosymbionts and still preserve distinct genes for important functions like making ATP. To speed the emerging therapeutic research into the ...

This engineered genome will help experts tailor organisms to fit the needs of their ever-changing environments.

a bacterial pathogen that lives freely in the cytosol, can interact in an extensive and stable way with the rough endoplasmic reticulum, forming previously unseen contacts with the organelle.

Bacterial microcompartments are specialized organelles found in various bacteria that encapsulate specific enzymes and reactions, enhancing metabolic efficiency. Among these, carboxysomes are ...

Picture a primordial Earth: a world of muted browns, greys and greens. Fast forward to today, and Earth teems with a ...

So why evolve bright warning signals when camouflage could also deter predators? The answer lies in the local predator ...
