By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell - from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division - scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming harder to treat, pushing scientists to look for new antibiotic targets. Researchers have now discovered that several unrelated viruses disable a key bacterial ...

The gut bacterium Bacteroides fragilis has long presented researchers with a paradox. It has been associated with colorectal cancer, yet it also lives quite happily in most healthy people. A study by ...

Biochemists at Caltech have identified how viruses have converged on a method for killing bacteria. The researchers have homed in on an underexplored small transporter called MurJ that is a vital part ...

Scientists are developing cancer-eating bacteria designed to grow inside oxygen-free tumors and attack cancer from within.

If any organism could survive getting catapulted off the surface of Mars and drifting through interplanetary space, this would be the one. The question was whether it could handle the initial violence ...

Affecting roughly half a million Americans each year, bacterial infections caused by Clostridioides difficile—commonly known ...

California researchers have identified a possible link between toxin in the gut and increase in cancer cases in people under ...

Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine are studying C. diff at multiple levels, from how individual bacterial ...

Scientists engineer bacteria to destroy cancer tumors from oxygen-starved cores where chemotherapy fails, using smart genetic ...
