The European Research Council (ERC) will fund Prof. Anupam Sengupta’s research into how bacteria interact with and control light, and possible opportunities for new imaging technologies. The grant of ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Scientists have finally learnt how a common gut bacteria fuels colon cancer, paving the way for preventative treatments that ...

Researchers at Durham have helped unlock a new understanding of how bacteria import antimicrobial peptides—the molecules that can kill or inhibit microbes. The research sheds new light on SbmA, a key ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have developed an anti-cancer therapy inspired by bacteria found in cancer ...

Bacteria are a cornerstone of the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, helping produce everything from drugs and beer to biodiesel and fertilizer. The pharmaceutical industry, in particular, relies ...

Scientists have uncovered how graphene oxide pulls off a remarkable trick: it hunts down and destroys harmful bacteria while leaving human cells completely unharmed. By targeting a molecule found only ...
