A petri dish full of dead bacteria isn’t usually cause for celebration. But for Stanford’s Brian Hie it was a game-changer in his efforts to create synthetic life. The perpetrator was a type of virus ...
Pathogenic bacteria come equipped with an entire arsenal of weapons which are used to harm and kill our body's cells. One of these is the type III secretion system (T3SS), a protein complex which ...
S. aureus has been identified as a common secondary bacterial coinfection agent for different respiratory viruses. Several investigations have revealed that coinfection with the influenza A virus (IAV ...
E. coli divides faster than it can replicate its genome, while simultaneously expressing its genes. Scientists recently revealed the intricate molecular coordination that makes this possible. “It’s as ...
(((I don't wanna come off all stiff-necked about this, because nobody's happier than me to see weird design ideas getting attention, but, okay, look: strictly speaking, self-replicating software ...
LA JOLLA, CA – June 17, 2013 – An international team led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva ...
The circadian rhythm is the body's clock, and it influences physiology at the cellular level; it can help animals, including humans, know when it's time to eat, wake up or go to sleep. Recent work has ...
In an accomplishment sure to have far-reaching scientific ramifications as well as both political and ethical concerns, researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), have successfully ...
