When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have ...

Researchers use cryo-electron microscopy to reveal how sodium ions power bacterial flagellar motors, providing insights for ...

Biological motors, which aid microorganism movement in fluids, are composed of two components—the rotor and stators. Despite ...

When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have existed for millions of ...

This video presents a study in which, using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers determined the structure and mechanisms of a key component in the flagellar motor, which bacteria use to turn their ...

and hitherto they have been regarded as ‘‘flagella or motor-organs. Motility of bacteria is thought to be due to activity of these threads, either by themselves or twisted into a tail.

Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

University of Virginia Cancer Center researchers have explained the failure of immune checkpoint therapy for ovarian cancer ...

Figure 2. Schematic diagram of the bacterial flagellum. The bacterial flagellum is composed of basal body rings, namely the C-ring, MS-ring, L-ring, and P-ring, and an axial structure consisting of ...

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...

Implemented a code on PyElastica to compute the mechanics of soft filaments using Cosserat rod theory and 2nd-order Position Verlet time-stepping, to construct a near-realistic model of a swimming ...

Early on in the research, the scientists discovered that it was the bacterial flagella—part of the cell that aids in movement—that enables the bacteria to invade cancer cells. So they ...
