Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have uncovered how the bacteria that causes tuberculosis fuels itself during infection, providing new insights into one of the world's ...

Biologists from ETH Zurich have discovered speargun- like molecular injection systems in two types of bacteria and have described their structure for the first time. The special nanomachines are used ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

An innovative imaging technique developed at Carnegie Mellon University reveals single bacterial cells leaving their biofilm community. Watching the bacteria in real-time at high resolution affords ...

Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates ...

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell division in bacteria, based on the binding of the MraZ ...

Which flu viruses are infecting people sick in the prior year To what extent are those viruses spreading How well the previous flu vaccine protected against the flu virus How well the vaccine can ...

PHILADELPHIA - By combining two techniques, an international team of scientists led by researchers at The Wistar Institute has derived the "quasi-atomic" structure of a common bacteriophage, a type of ...

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending ...
