Scientists have uncovered how graphene oxide pulls off a remarkable trick: it hunts down and destroys harmful bacteria while ...
Understanding the regulation of inflammation and oxidative stress is essential for deciphering the interplay between host defence mechanisms and bacterial survival strategies. In human cells, ...
Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures. Specifically, the same RNA molecule can switch between ON and OFF structures, ...
A petri dish full of dead bacteria isn’t usually cause for celebration. But for Stanford’s Brian Hie it was a game-changer in his efforts to create synthetic life. The perpetrator was a type of virus ...
In recent years, scientists have begun to reveal the myriad ways that gut microbes can impact our health; they have identified relationships between bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and the ...
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has long been treated as a disease of the brain and spinal cord. A study published in May 2026 ...
Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have developed an anti-cancer therapy inspired by bacteria found in cancer ...
As antibiotic resistance grows, scientists are turning to bacteriophages, viruses that target harmful bacteria without wiping ...
Researchers identified a gene that appears to help move this bacteria-derived compound — found in fermented foods like kefir ...
