Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called ...

Newly developed halide perovskite nanocrystals (HPNCs) show potential as antimicrobial agents that are stable, effective and ...

The tuberculosis bacterium has been identified as the first single-celled organism to maintain a consistent growth rate ...

To stem the surging antibiotic resistance public health crisis, scientists seek solutions inside the mechanics of bacterial infection. A new study has found a vulnerability related to magnesium ...

The bacteria could be grown in space, and lend their photosynthesizing talents to supplying power to the hundreds of ...

Researchers have uncovered an unexpected vulnerability that could change how we fight deadly infections without using more drugs.

The rod-shaped tuberculosis (TB) bacterium, which the World Health Organization has once again ranked as the top infectious disease killer globally, is the first single-celled organism ever observed ...

With a $1.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers at the Case Western Reserve School of ...

They focused on the bacteria's ribosomes, which are cellular micro-machines that are key to making proteins and translating genetic codes, and magnesium ions, which all cells rely on to survive.

One of these bacteria is particularly neat – it literally eats up the stuff that makes your muscles burn during exercise.

This allowed them to create a 3D model that replicated the viscosity, stiffness, and porosity of mucus, while remaining optically transparent for detailed visualization of bacterial cells and ...
