Cells from all three domains of life, Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya, produce extracellular
vesicles (EVs) which are sometimes associated with filamentous structures known as …

Planctomycetes are ubiquitous, environmentally and biotechnologically important bacteria
that are key players in global carbon and nitrogen cycles. Ever since their first discovery in …

To dissect the antibiotic role of nanostructures from chemical moieties belligerent to both
bacterial and mammalian cells, here we show the antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of …

All complex life is composed of eukaryotic (nucleated) cells. The eukaryotic cell arose from
prokaryotes just once in four billion years, and otherwise prokaryotes show no tendency to …

Antibiotics were once the golden bullet to constrain infectious bacteria. However, the rapid
and continuing emergence of antibiotic resistance (AR) among infectious microbial …

Planctomycetes form a distinct phylum of the domain Bacteria and possess unusual features
such as intracellular compartmentalization and a lack of peptidoglycan in their cell walls …

Microbial resistance to current antibiotics therapies is a major cause of implant failure and
adverse clinical outcomes in orthopaedic surgery. Recent developments in advanced …

To evaluate the antibacterial activity of zinc oxide (ZnO) in the absence of a light source, we
examined three different types of nanoparticles that vary in size and the number of oxygen …

Bacteria of the phylum Planctomycetes have been previously reported to possess several
features that are typical of eukaryotes, such as cytosolic compartmentalization and …

Our understanding of endocytosis has evolved remarkably in little more than a decade. This
is the result not only of advances in our knowledge of its molecular and biological workings …
