Researchers have proven that antibiotic-resistant strains of a harmful bacteria thrive in a diabetic infection environment.

Meet the jumbo phage. Scientists believe they’ve cracked the code on how its ‘secret handshakes’ act as a shield against the ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...

A Cornell University-led collaboration has uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide ...

Synthetic cells that look just like natural cells but are chemically reversed could outcompete other living organisms − with ...

In a breakthrough for the advanced study of gut health, NUS scientists have developed a 3D microscopic version of the human ...

Scientists have translated nanoscale experimental and computational data into precise 3D representations of bacteria, yeast ...

This complex microbial dance seems to have a really important role in our health. Oral diseases and even oral cancers have ...

How do bacteria whether harmless ones residing in human bodies or those causing diseases coordinate their activities?

A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, captured which genes bacteria turn on ...

In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive organelles, such as micro-compartments found in some bacteria, help organize cellular processes by concentrating ...
