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

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

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

Researchers from King's College London and the University of Surrey have developed a new technique to measure the content of ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a main cause of bacterial pneumonia worldwide. It can also cause ear and sinus infections and, in ...

Two people have died in a bacterial meningitis outbreak in the south of England. Here’s what you need to know.

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...

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 ...

Researchers from King's College London and the University of Surrey have developed a new technique to measure the content of ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that bacteria can drive stem cell regeneration to repair the intestinal lining after injury—uncovering an unexpected way in which the gut ...
