Researchers at the University of Bayreuth and Forschungszentrum Jülich have demonstrated that specific light-sensitive ...

Microbial secretion systems are at the core of bacterial physiology, facilitating processes such as protein export, ...

The Green Revolution of 1950–1970 helped agriculture flourish around the world. Advances in technology enabled farmers to scale up their production, improving the way they watered and fertilized their ...

A remarkable quality of bioengineering is that scientists can take biological processes honed by millions of years of ...

Scientists have finally uncovered how bacteria naturally create multiple versions of powerful anti-cancer drugs, solving a mystery that has frustrated researchers for decades.

A new study shows that protein sequences associated with microbial communities in the human gut have uniquely low stoichiometric water content and undergo counterintuitive chemical shifts toward ...

When bacteria are under antibiotic attack, it is not "every man for himself." Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and ...

Bacteria can pass proteins between themselves, which induces a dormant state that helps a small group of them survive ...

Researchers say the discovery is unexpected because prions are usually discussed in the context of misfolding, aggregation, and brain disease—not immunity or antibiotic discovery.

Back when James Parkinson first described the disorder now known as Parkinson’s disease, he noticed that severe constipation can be a prelude to the signature tremors. In the 208 years since then, ...
