“We observed that the peptides specifically kill cancer cells without attacking healthy breast tissue cells,” Strauß said in ...

These fundamental findings offer a novel mechanism by which rubrerythrin tubules encapsulate encapsulin to prevent oxidative stress in Pyrococcus furiosus. However, there are a few reasonable concerns ...

Everything alive is made up of cells, and what made the ... They analyzed what was able to pass through membranes with properties similar to those of archaea, a major group of microbes.

Although they appear similar to bacteria under the microscope, they differ in many basic aspects: for example, in their cell membrane, metabolic pathways and genetic characteristics. Archaea were ...

Life is composed of three distinct cell types: bacteria and archaea, which are both prokaryotic cells with some key differences — for example in their cell membranes and reproductive strategies — and ...

They are generally smaller and simpler and include bacteria and archaea. Eukaryotes on the other hand are ... between these two types of organisms is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound ...

Research shows DPANN archaea selectively consume host lipids, prompting significant changes in host metabolism and membrane resilience and potentially affecting environmental adaptability. Credit: ...

The hosts change their membrane ... or other organelles within their cells. As of the 1970's, however, microbiologists no longer consider archaea bacteria, but classify them as a separate domain ...

not archaea. In the Gould, Garg, and Martin model, in the beginning all the membranes except for the host cell’s outermost one would have been bacterial, like the membranes of the new resident.

They are composed not of two layers of fat molecules, like our cells’ membranes, nor a layer of fats and a layer of sturdy protein, like those of other archaea, but a single fat layer.
