Researchers at the University of Notre Dame and collaborators have discovered a key process in how the outer membrane of gram ...

From plant stems to bacterial shells, cell walls are far more than rigid barriers—they’re living, adapting structures. Scientists are uncovering how they maintain shape, remodel themselves, and even ...

Researchers have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria that enhances the bacteria's defense against environmental threats. The discovery, which may be important for research into developing ...

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame and collaborators have discovered a key process for how the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria ...

Bacteria are experts at evolving resistance to antibiotics. One resistance strategy is to cover their cell walls in sticky and gooey biofilm that antibiotics cannot penetrate. A new discovery could ...
