Their study, published in Microbiological Research, reveals that bacteria can evolve by losing their flagella, the structures responsible for movement. The study was led by Prof. Wang Junfeng from ...

Early on in the research, the scientists discovered that it was the bacterial flagella – part of the cell that aids in movement – that enables the bacteria to invade cancer cells. So they ...

Scientists at UMass Amherst and Ernest Pharmaceuticals developed BacID, a bacterial cancer therapy activated by aspirin. This targeted approach delivers drugs directly into tumors, sparing healthy ...

Bacterial flagella are essential structures that enable motility in many bacteria, allowing them to navigate their environments effectively. The flagellar motor is a complex nanomachine that ...

To search for immune-balancing bacteria, Conway’s team turned to plants that were engineered to have heightened immune responses to a protein that makes up the threadlike appendages, called flagella, ...

I n the McMurdo Sound region of Antarctica, there lives a species of sponge known as the giant volcano sponge ( Anoxycalyx ...
