Mitochondrial dysfunction, including decreased mitochondrial respiration and increased mitochondrial stress, is associated with many major human diseases and casual to many pathological defects.

Helicobacter pylori is the primary cause of stomach cancer, which is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. The helical shape of the bacterium is necessary for efficient stomach ...

For more than 20 years, Makoto Miyata from Osaka City University has been studying the gliding motility of the parasitic bacterium Mycoplasma mobile (M. mobile). It is a mechanism consisting of an ...

F-Type ATP synthase, a catalytic complex of proteins, synthesizes adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of living cells. A lot of ambiguity exists over the rotational mechanism of this ...

Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have developed a promising new substance for targeting bacteria that cause tuberculosis. The team have produced a compound that inhibits ...

In the face of growing antibiotic resistance among bacterial infections, scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have delved into the molecular science behind treatment-resistant ...
