The non-descript, pill-shaped cell is why we understand fundamental life processes (think DNA replication and transcription).

A team of researchers has developed a new self-powered biosensor that can detect Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria in ...

A small team of materials scientists and chemical engineers at Qingdao University, in China, has developed a self-powered, ...

Researchers from the University of Toronto have shown how a low-carbohydrate diet can worsen the DNA-damaging effects of some ...

A vivid new image is taking shape in the world of cell biology: Imagine bacteria adhering to the surface of a cell, perhaps ...

If you've been thinking about switching to a low-carb diet, you might want to reconsider. Recent research has uncovered a ...

Dennis D'Amico, associate professor of animal science, has demonstrated that bacteriophages can effectively reduce the amount ...

Chen's team used single-molecule imaging on E. coli bacterial cells to better understand the protein interactions. When they measured the protein concentration inside the cell, they found the ...

Immune cells that eat bacteria in the body don't stash them in specialized compartments as once thought, but turn them into ...

A self-powered biosensor detects and destroys E. coli using enzyme-driven energy, aptamer-based recognition, and silver ion release for real-time safety.

Bacteria built it: A 3D rendering captured using a confocal microscope shows the development of serpentine “cables” as non-motile E. coli bacterial cells proliferate in a polymeric solution. (Courtesy ...

Researchers have shown how a low carbohydrate diet can worsen the DNA-damaging effects of some gut microbes to cause colorectal cancer. The study compared the effects of three different diets in ...
