The ability of bacteria to control the biophysical properties of their membrane phospholipids allows them to thrive in a wide range of physical environments. Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy ...

Some bacterial membrane transporters work almost like freight elevators to transport substances through the cell membrane ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

This valuable study proposes a novel rapid-entry mechanism of S. aureus that involves the rapid release of calcium from lysosomes. The strength of the paper lies in a very interesting hypothesis; what ...
