Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like ...

Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming harder to treat, pushing scientists to look for new antibiotic targets. Researchers have now discovered that several unrelated viruses disable a key bacterial ...

Scientists found an unexpected viral hitchhiker lurking inside a common gut bacterium – and it was twice as prevalent in people with colorectal cancer.

Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...

Biochemists at Caltech have identified how viruses have converged on a method for killing bacteria. The researchers have homed in on an underexplored small transporter called MurJ that is a vital part ...

For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard ...
