TROY, N.Y. -- Researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Toronto have designed a nanoscale assembly of molecules that successfully counteracts and inhibits anthrax toxin ...

Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin (LT) is a determinant of lethal anthrax. Its function in myeloid cells is required for bacterial dissemination, and LT itself can directly trigger dysfunction of the ...

Every cell carefully builds and positions thousands of proteins that allow it to sense and respond to its surroundings. Even small changes to these proteins often determine whether they work properly ...

Complex nanoscale structures designed to bind and neutralise anthrax toxins have successfully protected rats from the deadly illness in the laboratory. The researchers say their novel approach may ...

The results of a study headed by scientists at Harvard Medical School (HMS) suggest that a toxin produced by the bacterium that causes anthrax may also have an unexpected benefit, in that it can ...

MADISON - Building on their 2001 discovery of a cellular doorway used by anthrax toxin to enter cells, University of Wisconsin Medical School researchers have found a second anthrax toxin doorway, or ...

Newswise — Surprising new insights about the acid pH levels required for anthrax toxin to invade the cells of the body may help accelerate development of medications for the treatment of anthrax, a ...

A new study of anthrax reveals why the infection is deadly. The findings also offer clues that could be used to better treat people who are infected, which could possibly improve survival rates, ...
