The opportunistic pathogen Klebsiella aerogenes degrades estradiol and induces depressive-like behavior in mice, a study finds.

Treating the microbial community residing on a painting with probiotics may offer a way to stave off biodegradation, a study suggests.

Researchers nab the microbial culprits eating away at a 17th century painting.

Feeding-fasting rhythms and light-dark cycles direct regular changes in organ and cell size, as well as ribosome number and protein levels.

The structure and function of the cell's protein-degrading machine

Additions to the bases of RNA molecules can be written, read, and erased.

Glial cells consume mitochondria released by neurons in the optic nerve.

There are five steps of autophagosome biogenesis: induction, expansion, vesicle completion, fusion, and cargo degradation. 

Despite years of research, the longstanding mystery of where the autophagosome gets its double lipid bilayers is not much clearer.
