Cancer therapies called checkpoint inhibitor drugs, which ratchet up the immune system, work better when this bacterium is ...

Researchers built tough, compostable bacterial cellulose sheets that rival metals in strength. The material handles heat, and ...

Although bacteria can sometimes have quite a negative reputation, they are actually crucial for life on Earth and are truly nature’s tiny heroes. In this gallery, we've assembled a list of some of the ...

WSOC TV’s Erika Jackson met with Brittany Johnson, an assistant professor in UNC Charlotte’s biological sciences department, ...

Exercise seems to help prevent cancer and reduce the growth of tumours, and that protective effect may be due to the way ...

An international research team has uncovered a surprising way compartments within cells work together to defend themselves ...

The work describes the interactions of nanosilver (NAg) with bacterial cell envelope components at a molecular level and how this associates with the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated toxicity of ...

It is generally accepted that intervention strategies to curb antibiotic resistance cannot solely focus on human and veterinary medicine but must also consider environmental settings. While the ...

Based in the College of Veterinary Medicine, the team found that the bacteria can manipulate a protein known as ATF6, which helps cells detect and respond to infection, to support its own growth and ...

Diagnosis of BV Signs & Symptoms Bacterial vaginosis is confined to an asymptomatic state in at least half of the cases. Symptomatic BV, on the other hand, is most typically accompanied by foul ...

Investigations carried out with bacterial cells highlighted the limitations connected to the use of oversimplified model membranes and, more importantly, helped to identify molecular targets of ...
