University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.

Scientists have studied a new target for antibiotics in the greatest detail yet—in the fight against antibiotic resistance.

Antibiotic efflux pumps are expressed in all microbes, where they serve as crucial gatekeepers in resisting the cellular ...

A recent study involving researchers from the University of Basel reveals that slowing down the intracellular transport of ...

Thin-film polymer membranes have been very effective for industrial-scale desalination of seawater, but have not been used ...

To reach their target site inside Gram-negative bacteria, almost all antibiotics need to cross the outer membrane. Computational modeling of such processes can be numerically demanding due to the size ...

The dicyanomethylenedihydrofuran (DCDHF) class of single-molecule fluorophores contains an amine donor and a dicyanomethylenedihydrofuran acceptor linked by a conjugated unit (benzene, naphthalene, or ...

This study introduces a valuable spring-bead model for epithelial cell layers, designed to improve previous cell-resolved approaches and to understand the connection between the biophysics of ...

Guest molecules slice through droplets of DNA polymers in a frontal wave, providing a foundation for better understanding ...

As time goes by, our bodies change, you know, even the brain. A major change is how brain structure seems to shrink with age. Studies show that this happens at both large and small levels inside. You ...

Inside your body, countless processes are happening every second to keep you alive. Among them is a little-known but powerful protein called CD36.

There are huge gaps in what we know about sperm, from how they navigate to why sperm counts are tumbling. The BBC unravels why we know so little about this perplexing cell.
