Swarming is one of the principal forms of bacterial motility facilitated by flagella and surfactants. It plays a distinctive role in both disease and healing. For example, in urinary tract infections (UTIs), swarming bacteria can […]
The demand for the widely used cancer drug Taxol is increasing, but it’s difficult and expensive to produce because it hasn’t been possible to do it biosynthetically. Until now, that is. Researchers from the University […]
Bacteria can do it, amoebas can do it, even blood cells can do it: They all have the ability to move in a goal-oriented way in liquids. And they do so despite having extremely simple […]
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new way to identify genetic changes that help tiny oxygen-producing microbes survive in extreme environments. The findings outline a new […]
Before it gets to your table in a steaming dish, rice has to go through the mill. More specifically, the unprocessed rice kernels that are encased in an inedible hull must undergo milling to reveal […]
Every living creature on Earth needs to protect itself from things that would do it harm. Bacteria are no different. And despite their relative simplicity, they deploy remarkably savvy defensive strategies against viral invaders. The […]
Researchers at Toyohashi University of Technology in Japan, in collaboration with the Institute of Translational Medicine and Biomedical Engineering (IMTIB) in Argentina and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, have advanced the “PDMS SlipChip,” a […]
The musculoskeletal system provides structural support, enabling movement such as walking and lifting, protecting internal organs, maintaining posture, generating heat through muscle activity, and coordinating with the nervous system. One of the many complexities of […]
Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting genetic instructions from DNA and creating proteins. With the power to execute a plethora of […]
Collagen, a prevalent and predominant part of the structure of bodies, still has some mystique surrounding the finer aspects of its existence. In a new study, researchers look into the mechanism of orientation within collagen […]
