From medicine to agriculture and aquaculture, bacteriophages are poised to have a huge global impact. As viruses which target only bacterial cells, they hold promise as an alternative to antibiotics, ...

Incredible creatures defy biological limits, surviving extreme heat, pressure, radiation, and arid conditions. From tardigrades in suspended animation to lungfish in cocoons, these animals showcase ...

Nobody wants harmful bacteria colonizing the surfaces of objects such as medical implants, yet we also don't want them ...

Bacteria that multiply on surfaces are a major headache in health care when they gain a foothold on, for example, implants or ...

In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns ...

The moment of death for the bacteria. A scanning electron microscopy image of the MOF structure puncturing the bacteria. The ...

After using LEVA to create precise shapes of EVPs from bacteria, simulating an infection, the team added immune cells. Watch the cells rapidly detect and swarm toward the cicular patterns of bacterial ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers have investigated the structure of Bas63, a bacteriophage of the subfamily ...

A purple photosynthetic bacterium isolated from the ocean could enable a greener form of industrial aquaculture. The bacterium, which requires only air and sunlight to grow, could produce high-quality ...
