Researchers from King's College London and the University of Surrey have developed a new technique to measure the content of ...

A growing body of experimental work on how single bacteria sense and respond to their environment has reopened a long-standing question in biology and philosophy: can an individual cell be conscious?

To model bacterial life, Thornburg and his colleagues turned to one of its simplest examples: a bacterial cell with a ...

Are all bacterial cells in a group alike? It doesn't seem so. A population of bacterial cells may be heteroresistant, which is to say that some may be able to evade the effects of antibiotics, while ...

Researchers from Umeå University, Sweden, and Cornell University, U.S., have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria that enhances the bacteria's defense against environmental threats. The ...

Scientists have engineered bacteria to produce designer proteins by smuggling artificial amino acids, enabling precise drug delivery and multifunctional applications.

Researchers from King’s College London and the University of Surrey have developed a new technique to measure the content of individual human cells infected with bacteria that model tuberculosis – and ...
