A bacterial defense system called SPARDA employs kamikaze-like tactics to protect cells and could be useful in future ...

Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

The protein called intelectin-2 plays another important role by reinforcing the protective mucus layer that lines the ...

The mucosal surfaces that line the body are embedded with defensive molecules that help keep microbes from causing ...

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 ...

What if bacteria held the keys to a part of our own immunity? For several years, some scientists have been exploring unexpected links between human proteins involved in the body's defense and certain ...

Researchers discovered how the Lsr2 protein silences foreign DNA in tuberculosis bacteria. By forming protein condensates on ...

A research team has developed DeepCodon, a deep learning–based codon optimization tool that significantly improves heterologous protein expression in Escherichia coli while preserving functionally ...

The current study explored how macronutrients in the host diet are involved in gut colonization and competition by V.
