In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...

Researchers in the Raman Lab at UW recently published a study discussing sending microbes into space at the International ...

Dr Jeannine Hess examined how antimicrobial resistance already imposes a vast global death toll, why the antibiotic development pipeline has weakened and how her lab’s light-activated metal ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have uncovered a master transcriptional regulator that controls rhizobial symbiosis between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. By identifying an amino acid motif ...

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs. Their findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, describe how ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. The study reveals a unique viral mechanism: a molecular ring anchors the viral copying machine ...

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell division in bacteria, based on the binding of the MraZ ...

Researchers have uncovered a microscopic weapon that can literally tear viruses apart from the inside, a single protein that turns a cell’s own DNA into a tripwire. Instead of blocking infection at ...

Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.
