Hardy bacteria in a lab survived pressures comparable to an asteroid strike on the red planet, suggesting a hypothetical scenario in which our planet was seeded with life.

This week, we examine the threat of human papilloma virus — or HPV — to our bodies and the rationale for protecting our kids and ourselves from its potential to ...

Background Gut microbiota dysbiosis is linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. However, the role of bacterial ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like ...

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 ...

Plants are a rich and renewable source of compounds used in medicines, food ingredients, and cosmetics. Since growing an entire plant just to extract a few specific compounds is rather inefficient, ...

A naturally occurring bacterial molecule has been found to interfere with tumor growth in an unexpected way, acting within the tumor itself while avoiding broader damage to the body. Credit: ...

Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory conditions. A critical factor, however, is whether the active substances actually ...
