With resistance spreading and new antibiotics arriving slowly, targets highlighted by viruses could keep future infections treatable. Millions of virus genomes now sit in sequence databases, and many ...

Scientists have uncovered an elegant biophysical trick that tuberculosis-causing bacteria use to survive inside human cells, a discovery that could lead to new strategies for fighting one of the world ...

"So, we are now colonizing that central space, and the bacterium is essentially ridding the body of the tumor." The post ...

Scientists engineer bacteria to destroy cancer tumors from oxygen-starved cores where chemotherapy fails, using smart genetic ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression.

Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming harder to treat, pushing scientists to look for new antibiotic targets. Researchers have now discovered that several unrelated viruses disable a key bacterial ...

Researchers discovered that clearing out certain digestive bacteria with antibiotics helps calm the immune system. This temporary microbial shift protected mice from severe brain swelling and cellular ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

Testosterone can potentiate S. aureus quorum sensing independent of auto-inducing peptides, increasing toxin release and host-cell damage, whereas progesterone and estrogen do not show the same effect ...
