Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...

Arpita Bose and Zhecheng Zhang explore genetic tools in environmental microbes, citing applications in extracellular electron transfer ...

This study provides useful insights into addressing the question of whether the prevalence of autoimmune disease could be driven by sex differences in the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire, correlating ...

A tiny bacterium, Tersicoccus phoenicis, is changing how scientists view cleanliness in secure areas. This microbe survives ...

HemoSift has passed benchtop testing with blood-like fluids at the nanofabrication and microfluidics facility at IIT Bombay ...

Turning off the genetic switch to its respiratory system might finally eliminate the bacteria behind tuberculosis.

Researchers created a highly efficient gene-editing method that fixes multiple DNA mutations in a single step. The breakthrough could revolutionize genetic medicine by making treatments for complex ...

"Sporosarcina secretes natural polymers that nurture mineral growth and strengthen regolith, turning loose soil into solid, concrete-like material," the spokesperson writes. "We envision this ...

Scientists have long known that bacteria come in many shapes and sizes, but understanding what those differences mean has ...

With protruding appendages that each end in an orb, Solarion arienae vaguely resembles a cartoon Sun or a retrofuturistic ...

Evo’s success wasn’t limited to proteins. When they tested a different toxin that had an RNA-based inhibitor, the system ...

In a recent breakthrough, engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have created artificial neurons that operate like real ones—right down to their voltage. Using protein nanowires grown ...
