Author summary Chemotaxis permits bacteria to move to sites that are favorable for survival and host colonization. A typical chemotactic response is initiated by the binding of chemoeffectors to chemo...

Nature Microbiology, Published online: 27 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02261-2Testosterone produced by skin cells enhances Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity by activating quorum sensing, and a stereoisomer of testosterone that blocks this interaction inhibits bacterial cytotoxicity towards human cells.

Un equipo de astrónomos ha obtenido imágenes de la supernova SN 2024ggi durante la fase más temprana, lo que les ha permitido observar cómo se abre paso la explosión a través de la geometría de la est...

Schematic representation of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa chemoreceptors that mediate chemotaxis to ten different human neurotransmitters. Chemoeffectors in back were shown to bind directly to the dCach...

Las tortugas marinas son fieles al territorio donde desovan, y esto afecta al sexo de sus crías.

The ability of bacteria to adapt to changing environmental conditions largely depends on transmembrane receptors that sense signal molecules and generate responses such as chemotaxis, changes in gene ...
