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 ...

Innate immune sensors—known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)—detect specific molecular components of bacterial or ...

In the journal Science Advances, scientists in Sweden and the U.S. report the first-ever direct observation of a type of short-lived molecule that has shaped decades of thinking in atmospheric ...

Innate immune sensors – known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) – detect specific molecular components of bacterial or viral intruders. The PRRs forward the signals which results in the ...

Polyamines—natural molecules found in every living cell—have become stars in the longevity world for their ability to boost cellular cleanup and support healthy aging. But there’s a dark twist: high ...

Cockroach gut microbes can rapidly degrade polystyrene, demonstrating their potential for plastic bioremediation.

You are here because of a single, all-important enzyme. But don’t look inward to find ribulose-­1,5-­bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, known more mercifully among scientists as rubisco. Instead, ...

Loss and dysfunction of synapses have been linked to age-related cognitive decline and observed in Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, although a cascade of events likely leads to those ...

Element Biosciences created a high-throughput benchtop device that can deliver a whole genome for $100 – half the price of ...

Jeff Nippard, the Canadian natural bodybuilder, powerlifter, and fitness educator, is grappling with the sudden death of his ...
