"The DPRK's bolstering of its self-defensive capabilities is an essential requirement for deterring rivals' ever-increasing various provocative attempts and ensuring the security of the state," read a ...

Ellyse Perry (57, 34b, 6x4, 2x6) and Richa Ghosh (64 not out, 27b, 7x4, 4x6) were in sublime touch as defending champions RCB scaled down the target of 202 with ease in the tournament opener against ...

Jumbo phages utilize a complex protein import system, with Imp1 as a key gatekeeper, to transport proteins into their protective nucleus-like compartment.

But bacteria aren’t entirely defenseless, he says. “Many bacteria develop an immune system, known as CRISPR, to defend themselves against invading viruses called phages,” says Guinn, who was selected ...

and as a means of preventing the development of phage-resistant bacterial mutants during individual treatments. These different approaches can be viewed as a means of increasing the medical or ...

"That is the true context in which you need to judge the question on whether it was revenge or self-defence against a man who was intent on getting drugs come what may." Mr Dawkins' barrister ...

Bacteria have developed many strategies to defend themselves from phages ... lack this system protected them against evolutionarily diverse phages. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we obtained ...

The first is that by forming large cables, bacteria may become more resilient against the body’s immune system, making them more infectious. The other possibility is that the reverse is true – that ...

Viruses of bacteria, known as bacteriophages or phages, were discovered nearly 100 years ago. Their potential as antibacterial agents was appreciated almost immediately, with the first 'phage ...
