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

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...

The cost-effective, easy-to-use T7 expression system has been integral to Escherichia coli protein production since its introduction in 1986. Now, a just-developed enhancement is making it even better ...

Gas vesicles are among the largest known protein nanostructures produced and assembled inside microbial cells. These hollow, air-filled cylindrical nanostructures found in certain aquatic microbes ...

Amyloids are perhaps best known as a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease. The amorphous proteins, found throughout the human body, stick to nerve cells like plaque, choking off their function and ...

New research from the Champalimaud Foundation (CF) reveals how missing just one essential amino acid can change gene expression and the brain's sensory systems, prompting animals to seek out ...

To enhance CAR T therapies, scientists are actively studying TCR signaling and T-cell exhaustion mechanisms to improve CAR T persistence and function. Additionally, there is a growing trend towards ...
