Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) represent sophisticated nanomachines that bacteria utilise to deliver effector proteins directly into eukaryotic host cells. These multi‐protein assemblies, often ...

Type 3 secretion systems (T3SSs) are used by several pathogenic bacterial species to deliver effector proteins, responsible for the effects of infection, into the target host cells. An MGH research ...

UMass Amherst biochemists are mapping the molecular structure of a needle-like tool used by bacteria to invade human and mammalian cells to cause such diseases as plague and dysentery. Of particular ...

Scientists have discovered that erucamide, a plant-produced fatty acid amide, disrupts the function of the bacterial injectosome—a syringe-like nanomachine that some pathogenic bacteria use to help ...
