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 ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction ...

In its purest form (with no extra debris), liquid water can exist as a liquid until -40°C if left still (unmoving). In order ...

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

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending the gut. The protein strengthens the mucus layer that lines the ...

When we artificially induce rain or snow, we use a process called cloud seeding. Particles are launched into the sky to give water molecules a surface to freeze onto. As the ice crystals grow heavier, ...

Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have uncovered how the bacteria that causes tuberculosis fuels itself during infection, providing new insights into one of the world's ...

A 3D-printed hydrogel wound dressing loaded with MXene and carbonized polymer dots kills drug-resistant MRSA and speeds healing in diabetic mice.

Gene and cell therapy is moving fast – and in a clear direction. Programs are pushing toward more complex payloads, virus-free engineering, and manufacturing models that can scale from early research ...

Hospital wastewater is difficult to clean because it often carries two very different threats at once: chemical dye residues and harmful bacteria. Researchers have now developed a polyurethane ...

Scientists recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell ...

She was recognized for her development of a highly sensitive light scattering measurement method that allows microorganisms, bacteria, and antibiotic resistance to be analyzed significantly faster ...
