They kill bacteria by interacting with their cell-wall peptidoglycan, rather than permeabilizing their membranes, and synergize with antibacterial peptides. Peptidoglycan recognition proteins ...

and that Mo-LCs express DLL4 by stimulation with the TLR2 ligand peptidoglycan (PGN), which is suppressed by interleukin (IL)-4. Additionally, DLL4 + Mo-LCs most potently activate T cells among ...

Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

Discover the importance of antibiotics, bacterial cell walls, and resistance mechanisms in fighting bacterial infections effectively.

In 2009 a team of biophysicists led by Anthony A. Hyman of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, were studying specklelike structures called P ...

It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been on its way for a while now, which isn't helped by the fact it's been over three years since we heard anything official about the game. From what we ...

Natural killer (NK) cells are the predominant innate lymphocyte subsets that mediate anti-tumor and anti-viral responses, and therefore possess promising clinical utilization. NK cells do not express ...

Filopodia are composed of hexagonal bundles of proteins that give them structure and strength. How these intricate bundles come together has been a puzzle for more than 40 years. A major piece of ...

Feb. 12, 2025 — Scientists have uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide spectrum ...

Eating foods high in key nutrients, including iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, and limiting alcohol may help increase your red blood cell count. Red blood cells are the most common cells in ...
