A study focusing on analyzing cell models found universality in their movement—an important discovery that could impact both ...

Cell-free systems, which can express an easily detectable protein with a DNA or mRNA template without constraints of living ...

Bacteria steal DNA from silent viruses and use it like a memory bank. That memory helps them protect future generations.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a serious public health threat. Understanding the biology of these bacteria--such as how they synthesise their protective capsules--is essential for developing new ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a major constituent of all plant cell walls -- a team has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...

It’s important to note that researchers are likely at least 10 to 30 years away from creating mirror bacteria. On the timescale of a fast-moving field like synthetic biology, a decade is a very long ...

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Here, the authors report an antibacterial nanoagent TiOx@C with bacterial cell wall specificity, multi-targeting and bactericidal effect against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa.

When plasma cells become cancerous and grow out of control, this is generally called multiple myeloma. Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell found in your bone marrow. They are one of several ...
