We have become much more aware of all of the surfaces we touch daily and what kinds of germs can be on them. The Microbiology Lab at the Medical College of Georgia conducted an experiment with ...

Scientists at LSU have patented a novel way to kill cancer cells using staph bacteria, sometimes called the “superbug.” ...

Instead of killing bacteria, scientists found a way to gently guide gut microbes to produce compounds linked to longevity and healthier aging.

A batch of bacteria and viruses launched to the International Space Station returned to Earth with unexpected mutations that ...

Microbial activity underpins numerous processes in natural, industrial and clinical systems. Isothermal calorimetry has emerged as a sensitive, non-invasive technique to quantify the metabolic heat ...

A team of researchers at UCLA has reported an unexpected twist in a condition long treated as a crystal chemistry problem. In samples of the most common kidney stone, they found bacteria living inside ...

Space-based experiments show that microgravity-induced mutations in bacteriophages may improve their ability to target antibiotic-resistant bacteria on Earth.

New research shows that the gene PTPN2 helps regulate gut bacteria and plays a key role in protecting the body from excessive inflammation. Scientists at the, Riverside, are uncovering how a single ge ...

Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have completed a spaceflight biology investigation aboard the International Space Station (ISS) that reveals how microgravity fundamentally ...
