In what they labeled a "surprising" finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the ...

Andrew Monteith receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Research from my colleagues and I revealed that mitochondria play another key role in your immune response: sensing bacterial ...

New study shows how bacteria adapted a virus-derived injection system to recognize and attach to many different types of cells. By systematically identifying thousands of rapidly evolving ...
