Cholera, a severe bacterial infection that causes diarrhea and kills if untreated, can be defeated with a diet high in ...

Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

A new study shows that protein sequences associated with microbial communities in the human gut have uniquely low stoichiometric water content and undergo counterintuitive chemical shifts toward ...

How well bacteria move and sense their environment directly affects their success in surviving and spreading. About half of known bacteria species use a flagella to move — a rotating appendage that ...

Hundreds of different species of microbes live in your gut. In the future, one of these might serve a new function: ...

Amyloids are perhaps best known as a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease. The amorphous proteins, found throughout the human body, stick to nerve cells like plaque, choking off their function and ...

A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...

The Green Revolution of 1950-1970 helped agriculture flourish around the world. Advances in technology enabled farmers to scale up their production, improving the way they watered and fertilized their ...
