Fearless bacteria have colonized extreme environments, adapted to vast temperatures and pH fluctuations, and acclimated to ...

A team of researchers led by Joshua Modell says they have shed new light on how bacteria protect themselves from certain ...

Biologists from ETH Zurich have discovered speargun- like molecular injection systems in two types of bacteria and have described their structure for the first time. The special nanomachines are used ...

Pathogens are becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics. With the goal of developing new therapeutic approaches to ...

Scientists have identified a protein that can stop an infection in its tracks by simply dissolving a bacterial pathogen's cell membrane. This work indicates that there are natural detergents that ...

Dr. McAdams, a physicist at Stanford, was struck by the way biologists drew figures filled with arrows to show how different ...

Resistant to most antifungal drugs, the yeast Candidozyma auris is spreading globally and has caused recent outbreaks in US ...

Most infectious bacteria and viruses bind to sugars on the surface of our cells. Now researchers have created a library of tens of thousands of natural cells containing all the sugars found on the ...

The history of life stretches back untold eons. Today, there is a staggering array of organisms on Earth, with more species being discovered every year. The complexity of life, from the smallest ...

Researchers have discovered that the ancestors of legionella bacteria infected eukaryotic cells as early as two billion years ago. It happened soon after eukaryotes began to feed on bacteria. These ...
