If it ain't broke, don't fix it," goes the old adage, which Rice University professor James Chappell completely ignored in a recent Nature ...

Some bacteria do not defeat antibiotics by evolving resistance right away—they outlast treatment by slipping into hard-to-kill survival states that can reignite infection and complicate recovery.

A single species of gut bacterium found in human stool samples correlates with measurably stronger muscles across multiple ...

Researchers found that SMC proteins drive bacterial DNA separation by compacting chromosomes lengthwise, generating repulsive forces that push DNA copies apart, ensuring accurate segregation during ...

Every minute, nearly 500 antibiotic prescriptions are written in the U.S. Many of these drugs succeed, but more are being ...

Researchers at Emory University have found that live gut bacteria can travel to the brain in mice fed a high-fat diet, a ...

Gene and cell therapy is moving fast – and in a clear direction. Programs are pushing toward more complex payloads, virus-free engineering, and manufacturing models that can scale from early research ...

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich have developed a new drug candidate that significantly enhances the effectiveness of the antibiotic metronidazole against Helicobacter pylori, a ...

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 ...

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Helsinki has found that untreated wood surfaces support greater bacterial survival and diversity than treated wood surfaces. By examining ...
