A Franco-British team of scientists has explored two human proteins recently identified as immune enzymes. Structural studies in vitro show that, in a cell infected by a virus for example, ...

Are all bacterial cells in a group alike? It doesn't seem so. A population of bacterial cells may be heteroresistant, which is to say that some may be able to evade the effects of antibiotics, while ...

For several years, researchers have been successfully using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells to target specific antigens found on blood cells as a cure for patients with leukemia and lymphoma.

Some bacteria do not defeat antibiotics by evolving resistance right away—they outlast treatment by slipping into hard-to-kill survival states that can reignite infection and complicate recovery.

A new study challenges a decades-old explanation for how bacteria change direction, revealing that the process may be driven ...

Researchers identify why graphene oxide selectively destroys bacteria while remaining safe for human cells, with applications from toothbrushes to sportswear.
