Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...

A new study from Caltech demonstrates that soil bacteria can adapt under stress, particularly when a key nutrient, phosphorus ...

How large, fully folded proteins can pass through cell membranes without destroying them has long been one of the open questions in cell biology. Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), Leonid ...

Bacteria have no neurons or memories in the human sense. Yet in a new study, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and ...

In what they labeled a "surprising" finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the ...

Researchers from King's College London and the University of Surrey have developed a new technique to measure the content of individual human cells infected with bacteria that model tuberculosis—and ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (small rod-shaped bacteria) swarms toward and around a neighboring Cryptococcus neoformans (round yeast) colony. The thin fluid halo surrounding the yeast enables the bacteria ...

The study identified phage surface proteins acting as molecular anchors. These proteins confer phages ith the ability to ...

Fog itself is not alive, of course. But new research suggests some fog droplets can briefly become tiny floating habitats, ...
