A research team at the University of Greifswald's Research Training Group RTG-PRO "Proteases in pathogen and host: importance ...

Phenotypic heterogeneity, a feature of both bacteria and eukaryotic cells, arises from inherent cell-to-cell variability. In eukaryotes, single-cell RNA sequencing has led to an explosion in ...

For decades, biology textbooks and popular science writing repeated a striking claim: bacterial cells in the human body ...

Researchers at Umeå University have discovered that the microscopic "bubbles" released by bacteria in our body do not just drift around randomly. Instead, they use the thin protrusions of cells as a ...

In what they labeled a "surprising" finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the ...

Researchers from King's College London and the University of Surrey have developed a new technique to measure the content of individual human cells infected with bacteria that model tuberculosis—and ...

Whereas the key role of bacteria as part of the intestinal ecosystem controlling physiological processes such as the production of vitamins, digestion of polysaccharides or transformation of ...

We tend to view ourselves and the complex cells that build us as a distinct branch of the tree of life from the compact, ...

Last week, we looked at a new study of the origin of complex cells, one that showed that our ancestors’ genomes were pieced ...

When living cells grow, divide or respond to drugs, they give off tiny amounts of heat that offer information about what the ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that bacteria can drive stem cell regeneration to repair the intestinal lining after injury—uncovering an unexpected way in which the gut ...

Utah State University scientists recently unveiled a new type of CRISPR biotechnology with the ability to selectively target ...
