Hospitals and public spaces are locked in a quiet arms race with microbes that cling to surfaces, shrug off disinfectants, and evolve around our best drugs. Now researchers are turning to a Nobel ...

Scientists from Turkey have designed a next-generation implantable biosensor using genetically engineered E. coli for ...

Researchers at Umeå University in Sweden published a study “Breaking barriers: pCF10 type 4 secretion system relies on a self-regulating muramidase to modulate the cell wall” in mBIO that describes ...

Some bacteria use a kind of molecular “speargun” to eliminate their rivals, injecting them with a lethal cocktail. Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered that certain bacteria can ...

Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to encode three-dimensional cellular life. “I was quite shocked, truly,” said ...

Evo’s success wasn’t limited to proteins. When they tested a different toxin that had an RNA-based inhibitor, the system ...

Like humans struggling to get through the COVID-19 pandemic, bacterial cells need social distancing to thwart viruses. But in some situations, such as inside elevators or within the candy-colored ...

Targeting malignant tumors with high precision is challenging for biomedical researchers. However, this scenario is likely to witness a paradigm shift in the near future, through the use of specially ...
