"This research is important because it identifies CAML as an innate defense mechanism against HIV," says senior author Paul Spearman, professor of pediatrics (infectious ...
... ability of cells to adapt to disruptions to their basic division machineries -- a finding that may help explain how cancer cells elude the body's natural defense mechanisms or chemotherapy treatment.
... for that reason, they're much safer."
Researchers have known for years that many plants have a defense mechanism that involves production of natural chemicals, called phytoalexins, to kill disease- ...
Inhibiting the "drug efflux pumps" in bacteria, which function as their defense mechanisms against antibiotics, can mask the effect of mutations that have led to antibiotic resistance. This can ...

Several specific intracellular receptors are responsible for detecting the virus and activating the body's defensive mechanisms. When a virus' RNA enters the intracellular fluid, a receptor known as ...
... researchers and collaborators from Northeastern University have discovered a novel way to make pest insects more susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections by blocking part of the immune defenses.
... has recently been shown to detoxify the bacterial outer-membrane component lipopolysaccharide. Releasing IAP in lumenal vesicles could be an important defense mechanism against intestinal pathogens.
... reproduce sexually with the remainder reproducing asexually – to gauge the effects of plant sex on defense mechanisms. The researchers found that so-called generalist herbivores – those that eat a ...
... bacterium Escherichia coli. By means of this model organism, they have uncovered the existence of a mechanism that repairs proteins in the cell that have been damaged by oxygen. There are indications ...
... important biological processes such as cell growth, cell differentiation, blood coagulation, and viral defense mechanisms, we feel that that this artificial Golgi will help our team to develop a next ...
... can then be routed down relatively harmless chemical reaction pathways.
As Fleming once explained, “This defense mechanism is so sensitive to changing light conditions, it will even respond to the ...
... -RNA class both modifies gene activity and suppresses transposable elements, thus serving as a defense mechanism.
These findings, the scientists write in a newly published paper in Nature, “expands ...
