Scientists propose that the eukaryotic branch of this family tree formed when two prokaryotes, an ancient bacterium and archaeal cell, merged, forming a symbiotic relationship maintained over time. 1 ...

Various microbes, including several human pathogens, hijack the cell’s skeleton, membranes, and protein-making machinery to make themselves at home. Intracellular bacteria use various tricks to ...

It makes sense that a virus could benefit from altering this critical piece of cell machinery, but there was just no evidence for it in any eukaryotic virus." Julie Thomy, lead author of the study ...
