Discoveries of microbial communities that transfer electrons between cells and across relatively long distances are launching a new field of microbiology.
By engineering the genome of E. coli with genes from several sources, scientists have coaxed the microbe to produce diesel-replica hydrocarbons.
Rodents and fruit flies appear to be able to sense nutrients even when they can’t taste the food they’re eating. Now, researchers are trying to figure out how.
Researchers develop two small molecules that slow the growth of human cancer cells.
Satellites of the Golgi apparatus generate the microtubules used to grow outer dendrite branches in Drosophila neurons.
Histone acetylation levels keep intracellular pH in check.
Researchers analyzing samples from Antarctic subglacial lake confirm they have found unknown bacteria, and claim the microbes come from the lake rather than contaminants.
Nanoparticles coated with a toxin found in bee venom can destroy HIV while leaving surrounding cells intact.
A red alga appears to have adapted to extremely hot, acidic environments by collecting genes from bacteria and archaea.
