Don’t eat carbohydrates after 6 p.m., or cut them out altogether: A low-carb diet is considered a promising weight-loss solution. But do you really have to deny yourself pasta and bread if you want to...

Researchers at the University of Basel present a new test that measures how effectively antibiotics kill bacteria and helps predict treatment outcomes

In the fight against bacterial pathogens, researchers are combining vaccination with targeted colonization of the intestine by harmless microorganisms. This approach could potentially mark a turning p...

PhD Studentship - Understanding chemical permeability and metabolism in gram-negative organisms in the Department of Medicine at the University of Cambridge.

Ca2+ leakage triggers LC3 lipidation on multimembrane as Mtb phagosome damage response, independent of autophagy.

Microbial infections lead to drastic changes in the architecture and metabolism of the host cell. The inaugural FEBS EMBO Cell Biology of Host-Pathogen Interaction Advanced Course explores the mechan…

How can we identify causal genetic mechanisms that govern bacterial traits? Initial efforts entrusting machine learning models to handle the task of predicting phenotype from genotype return high accu...

Researchers at the University of Basel are able to test the effects of more than 1,500 compounds on cell metabolism in parallel. Their analysis also led to the discovery of previously unknown mechanis...

Peptidoglycan released by neighbouring kin or non-kin cell lysis induces physiological changes that protect from a range of stresses, including phage predation.

Whole-genome sequencing was used to show that resistance to newer antituberculosis drugs is present in at least 27 countries and that up to a quarter of this resistance may be due to person-to-...
