Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to ...

Pathogens are becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics. With the goal of developing new therapeutic approaches to ...

The molecule Wnt, which plays a role in cell communication during human development, evolved from a superfamily with a shared lipid-modifying mechanism originally involved in bacterial defence and ...

MIT chemists have discovered the structure of a protein that can pump toxic molecules out of bacterial cells. Proteins similar to this one, which is found in E. coli, are believed to help bacteria ...

A team of researchers led by Joshua Modell says they have shed new light on how bacteria protect themselves from certain ...

To address the global threat of antibiotic resistance, scientists are on the hunt for new ways to sneak past a bacterial cell's defense system. Taking what they learned from a previous study on cancer ...

PHILADELPHIA - By combining two techniques, an international team of scientists led by researchers at The Wistar Institute has derived the "quasi-atomic" structure of a common bacteriophage, a type of ...
