Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

and hitherto they have been regarded as ‘‘flagella or motor-organs. Motility of bacteria is thought to be due to activity of these threads, either by themselves or twisted into a tail.

University of Virginia Cancer Center researchers have explained the failure of immune checkpoint therapy for ovarian cancer ...

Early on in the research, the scientists discovered that it was the bacterial flagella – part of the cell that aids in movement – that enables the bacteria to invade cancer cells. So they ...

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...
