Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have uncovered how the bacteria that causes tuberculosis fuels itself during infection, providing new insights into one of the world's ...
A project at the University of Tokyo has developed a mid-infrared microscopy platform offering an improved view of structures inside living bacteria. Described in Nature Photonics, the new nanoscope ...
In its purest form (with no extra debris), liquid water can exist as a liquid until -40°C if left still (unmoving). In order ...
Zinc sits at the heart of many bacterial enzymes, so one of our immune system's simplest defenses is to keep zinc out of reach. Calprotectin, a neutrophil protein abundant at infection sites, is ...
Article reviewed by Phoebe Lostroh, PhD from Colorado College. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Louis Pasteur prepared the first liquid bacterial culture medium in 1860, ...
Bacteria and the viruses that infect them are perpetually at war. Their deadly clashes push both kinds of microbes to evolve ...
Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending the gut. The protein strengthens the mucus layer that lines the ...
Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that constantly “sense” their surroundings to survive and thrive. New research shows that beneficial gut microbes, especially common Clostridia bacteria, can ...
