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 ...

Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates itself under enormous pressure and yet only grows longer, never adding width.

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell division in bacteria, based on the binding of the MraZ ...

Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...

Affecting roughly half a million Americans each year, bacterial infections caused by Clostridioides difficile—commonly known ...

An international research team led by Konrad Meister from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, part of Mischa Bonn's department, has identified a new class of ice crystal-forming proteins in ...

An international research team led by Konrad Meister from Boise State University’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research has identified a new class ...

Affecting roughly half a million Americans each year, bacterial infections caused by Clostridioides difficile —commonly known as C. diff —are a serious and persistent problem for patients and ...

The human body cannot produce vitamin B2—also known as riboflavin—itself; it must absorb the important substance through diet ...

After her initial test run, she cultured a regular sample, as well as the shocked sample so she could compare them side by ...

Would you believe me if I told you urine can be used to produce energy? I know this sounds crazy, but a study, published in Results in Chemistry, analyzes how ...
