New study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

A project at the University of Tokyo has developed a mid-infrared microscopy platform offering an improved view of structures inside living bacteria. Described in Nature Photonics, the new nanoscope ...

A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...

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 ...

Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to encode three-dimensional cellular life. “I was quite shocked, truly,” said ...

Micro decisions can have macro consequences. A soft matter physicist reveals how interactions within simple cellular collectives can lead to emergent physical traits. Biofilms lead lives of liminality ...

University of Otago scientists are harnessing the power of peptides—the body's own tiny protein molecules—for a spray to help ...
