Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their ...

Inspired by sea sponges, researchers created living micro-lenses from bacteria that may improve medical and industrial ...

Engineers have made bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural and other ...

One researchers explained that bacteria do a really, really good job of keeping the sequence you want and the sequence that you get.

During morphogenesis—the process by which living organisms take shape—cells collectively position themselves in specific ways ...

A chemical radar allows bacteria to sense and eliminate predators. Investigating how microorganisms communicate deepens our ...

Scientists could reshape cancer treatment by helping powerful drugs work better in the body by exploiting a surface protein called CD36 that helps pull substances into cells. This dramatically ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

The immune system constantly interacts with pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria, employing a variety of defense mechanisms to eliminate threats. Among ...
