Bacteria are also able to communicate with each other through chemical signals, a behavior known as quorum signaling (QS). These chemical signals spread through a biofilm that colonies of bacteria ...

Led by researchers from New York University, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and NYU Langone's Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center, the new study used advanced microscopy to "see" for the first ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- A decade after microbiologists began to suspect that many groups of bacteria can communicate -- by releasing and detecting chemical pheromones to gauge their population density -- the ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

Biologists from ETH Zurich have discovered speargun- like molecular injection systems in two types of bacteria and have described their structure for the first time. The special nanomachines are used ...

(Boston) – Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM), the Naval Medical Research Center and the National Institutes of Health, have solved the structure of thin hair-like fibers ...

Researchers have made a significant advance toward the goal of using bacteria—rather than fossil fuels—to produce ethylene, a ...

A recently identified bacterial protein, named BeeR, is contributing to the design of novel anticancer drug delivery systems. Researchers from King’s College London (UK) and the University of ...
