Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the ...

The cost-effective, easy-to-use T7 expression system has been integral to Escherichia coli protein production since its introduction in 1986. Now, a just-developed enhancement is making it even better ...

Gas vesicles are among the largest known protein nanostructures produced and assembled inside microbial cells. These hollow, ...

Amyloids are perhaps best known as a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease. The amorphous proteins, found throughout the human body, stick to nerve cells like plaque, choking off their function and ...

What if bacteria held the keys to a part of our own immunity? For several years, some scientists have been exploring unexpected links between human proteins involved in the body's defense and certain ...

Interest in “molecular farming”—using plants to make therapeutic proteins—is growing, all puns intended. The surge is thanks, in part, to new technologies that offer the chance to scale production ...
