Merging synthetic organic chemistry and biotechnology, researchers have engineered Escherichia coli that can synthesize small ...

In the frozen reaches of the planet—glaciers, mountaintops, and icy groundwater—scientists have uncovered strange ...

A microorganism that is a proposed relative of our cellular ancestors has been grown successfully in the laboratory. Its internal architecture offers clues to the early evolution of eukaryotic ...

Researchers at Princeton have found that a type of bacterial cell can detect how fast movement is happening around them; they can sense the speed of flow. Those bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are ...

It has genes for ribosomes, tRNAs, and mRNAs. These components are the scaffolding of life: the tools by which cells read ...

Imagine the magnificent glaciers of Greenland, the eternal snow of the Tibetan high mountains, and the permanently ice-cold ...

Gut microbiota-derived phenylacetylglutamine accelerates aging by driving cellular senescence through mitochondrial dysfunction and DNA damage, offering insights into therapeutic interventions for ...

Deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean between Greenland and Norway, scientists have found microorganisms they call a missing link connecting the simple cells that first populated Earth to the complex ...

Cancer cells are ‘cheaters’ that do not cooperate with the rest of the body. Certain microbes in your diet can either protect against or promote tumor formation by influencing cell cooperation.

By Dr. Chinta Sidharthan New research reveals the gut microbiota’s surprising role in aging and highlights promising therapies to counteract its effects on cellular health. Study: Gut microbial ...
