The interaction between growth and the active migration of cells plays a crucial role in the spatial mixing of growing cell ...

Some things just go together in your belly: peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, bacteria and bacteria-eating viruses.

In a lab in the heart of Boston, professor Bree Aldridge leads a team of researchers trying to understand a threat that is ...

Scientists at Cincinnati Children's along with an international team of researchers have discovered a surprising new ...

This kit was created to enable the rapid spin column-based extraction of genomic DNA from up to 2 × 10 9 viable bacterial cells (typically from 0.5 to 1.0 mL of culture). It’s suitable for both ...

It's no secret that our waistlines often expand in middle-age, but the problem isn't strictly cosmetic. Belly fat accelerates aging and slows down metabolism, increasing our risk for developing ...

A study uncovers intricate details about protein function at the molecular level. The discovery could transform disease diagnostics and treatment.

The results from NIGMS’s continuing support have fueled the group’s discoveries on phenomena ranging from novel stress response mechanisms to the unique ways in which bacterial pathogens evade our ...

Now, researchers have developed a building material made of mycelium—the tubular, branching filaments found in most fungi—and bacteria cells. As detailed in a study published last week in the ...

In 2021, research led by Ryan Flynn, MD, PhD, and his mentor, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, opened a new chapter in biology, characterizing a new kind of player on the cell surface: glycoRNAs.

which allow bacterial cells to grow and reproduce. The RNA-binding protein CsrA switches from upregulation to downregulation of virulence genes in bacteria through unclear mechanisms. Here ...
