New research suggests that the secret to stronger muscles may not only lie in the gym or your diet—but also inside your gut.

Bacteria and the viruses that infect them are perpetually at war. Their deadly clashes push both kinds of microbes to evolve ...

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 ...

In a series of experiments at Johns Hopkins University, Lily Zhao fired tiny samples of a microorganism with a room-sized gas ...

Scientists at Arizona State University have uncovered surprising new ways bacteria move, even without their usual whip-like propellers called flagella. In one study, E. coli and salmonella were found ...

CHICAGO, IL – We’ve all been there—a tasty snack slips from your plate and lands on the floor. It’s frustrating, especially in the middle of a good meal. And in that moment of hesitation, many people ...

Scientists are discovering that the trillions of bacteria living in the human gut may influence far more than digestion. A new study has found that a specific gut bacterium may be linked to stronger ...

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 ...

A controlled lab experiment commissioned by Japan Rail Pass provider JRPass found that one frequently handled travel essential contained significantly more bacteria than shoes, luggage or even cell ...
