June 15, 2022 — The process that allows bacteria to expand and grow while maintaining the strength of the cell walls has been identified as offering a potential new target for ...
Aug. 3, 2022 — Researchers have used finite element simulations to test a new way of calculating the stiffness of plant cell walls. This allowed them to interpret AFM data more accurately compared with older ...
Jan. 15, 2021 — Researchers have identified a novel mechanism by which bacteria form membrane vesicles, which bacteria employ to communicate with each other or to defend themselves against antibiotics. By studying ...
Jan. 26, 2023 — A transporter which some bacteria use to recycle fragments of their cell wall has been discovered. Researchers found that the transporter controls resistance to certain kinds of cell-wall targeting ...
Oct. 2, 2023 — Scientists reveal new plant cell walls can have significantly different mechanical properties compared to surrounding parental cell walls, enabling cells to change their local shape and influence the ...
Jan. 13, 2022 — Plants need an internal communication system to coordinate their development and growth. Within a plant, cells message each other with pieces of RNA. A professor discovered a protein that carries ...
Oct. 21, 2021 — The skin bacterium Staphylococcus aureus often develops antibiotic resistance. It can then cause infections that are difficult to treat. Researchers have now uncovered an ingenious way in which a ...
May 13, 2021 — A plant cell wall's unique ability to expand without weakening or breaking is due to the movement of its cellulose skeleton, according to new research that models the cell wall. The new study ...
Nov. 19, 2021 — A research team revealed the molecular architecture of fungal cell walls and the structural responses to stresses, aiding the development of antifungal drugs targeting cell wall ...
Nov. 17, 2021 — Researchers have identified a new group of molecules that have an antibacterial effect against many antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Since the properties of the molecules can easily be altered ...
