Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to retaliate against rival attacks. Researchers at the University of Basel have mimicked attacks by poking bacteria with an ultra-sharp tip. Using this approach, ...

Researchers found that Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria rapidly assemble their T6SS nanoweapons in response to outer membrane ...

“With the high-speed AFM we could, for the first time, peer inside native nuclear pore complexes only forty nanometers in size,” study coauthor Roderick Lim of the University of Basel said in a ...

In close collaboration with Roderick Lim, Argovia Professor for Nanobiology at the Biozentrum and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI), the researchers have now demonstrated: Pseudomonas aeruginosa ...
