A new study by Tel Aviv University reveals how bacterial defense mechanisms can be neutralized, enabling the efficient ...

Scientists have been engineering “mirror life” by changing the chirality of life’s building blocks. Now, it's time to set ...

Genetic diversity is vital for species to adapt to environmental changes. In humans and many organisms, sexual reproduction drives this diversity. However, bacteria lack such a mechanism. Instead, ...

Scientists have suggested an updated framework for the role of ferns in environmental recovery from disaster. Instead of ...

Bacterial skin infections can happen when bacteria enter the body due to a break in the skin. Different types of skin infections include methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), impetigo, ...

Clutch sizes vary widely, and parental care is rare. Parthenogenesis, reproduction without males, occurs in some species. Snake reproduction, often shrouded in mystery, offers a captivating ...

They have deployed a bacteria to help them achieve this. Professor Debasish Das and Dr Krishna Kalyani Sahoo of the Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, IIT Guwahati, have developed an ...

Adding to the ever-growing list of newly discovered bacterial immune systems, we have characterized the mechanisms of an antiviral system called CmdTAC. CmdTAC blocks virus reproduction by ...

While different groups of bacteria were involved in the different countries examined, they all influenced pathways that synthesize B vitamins in the body. The researchers found the changes in gut ...
