Researchers have used powerful technologies to assess bacterial infection on the cellular level. The team has provided evidence that shows that proteins called septins can take a Shigella bacterium ...

Munster, Germany - Hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy (HNA), a rare disorder characterized by painful brachial neuropathies, weakness and atrophy of arm muscles, and sensory loss, is the first disease ...

Using state-of-the art technologies to image human cells and study infection at the level of a single bacterial cell, the research team, led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, has ...

Trends in colorectal cancer and iron deficiency anemia–related mortality in the United States: A nationwide retrospective analysis over 24 years. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2025 ASCO ...

Predictive value of MSI, 18qLOH, TS promoter, and MTHFR C677T variants on efficacy/toxicity of capecitabine adjuvant monotherapy: A mid-term report of a prospective observational study on 136 stage II ...

A defining characteristic of all cells is the plasma membrane, a thin layer of lipids that separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The plasma membrane is supported by the ...

Researchers have discovered that septins -- a part of the cytoskeleton -- form a barrier to the penetration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The process is dependent on the LecA molecule on the surface of ...

Immunotherapies that mobilize a patient’s own immune system to fight cancer have become a treatment pillar. These therapies, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, have performed ...

A protein family found naturally in our cells could help stop the spread of dangerous drug resistant infections by using 'detective' like powers to collect evidence of bacterial infection and imprison ...
