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 ...

The discovery could also lend itself to the development of future antibacterial therapies. In the battle against infectious ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Exhaled breath can provide a treasure trove of health information, offering a noninvasive window to both respiratory microenvironments and systemic physiological states. But collecting such data is a ...

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

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending the gut. The protein strengthens the mucus layer that lines the ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

After her initial test run, she cultured a regular sample, as well as the shocked sample so she could compare them side by ...

A lack of vitamin B2 makes tumour cells more susceptible to a unique form of cell death. This was discovered by researchers at the Rudolf Virchow Centre at the University of Würzburg.

An international research team led by Konrad Meister from Boise State University’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research has identified a new class ...

In Michigan Tech's biology teaching lab, undergraduate students research potential cancer cures with help from the humble worm.
