Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

To model bacterial life, Thornburg and his colleagues turned to one of its simplest examples: a bacterial cell with a ...

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 ...

Milk cartons can bloat due to air pressure changes or microbial growth. Check for curdling, flakes, or gas bubbles to assess ...

A new study in mice that ate a fat-heavy diet showed that live bacteria from an imbalanced gut - a digestive tract that ...

Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

Nanobodies—miniature proteins—derived from camel antibodies demonstrated powerful potential to accurately and safely deliver radioisotopes as specialized cancer treatments in a project at ORNL.

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division—scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

Winter in Antarctica is long and dark. Temperatures remain well below freezing. In many places, the Sun sets in April and does not rise above the horizon again until August. Without sunlight, ...
