New study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

A research team at the Hebrew University has shown that bacteria can survive antibiotic exposure via two distinct ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells ...

Bacteria that rarely tumble are likely to get trapped by obstacles, slowing dispersion. Bacteria that tumble frequently often “retrace their steps,” also slowing dispersion. Dispersion is maximized by ...

Researchers have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria that enhances the bacteria's defense against environmental threats. The discovery, which may be important for research into developing ...

The research shows that antibiotic persistence is not a single biological phenomenon, but instead arises from two fundamentally different growth-arrest states, a discovery that helps resolve years of ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

Using human stem cells, scientists have created a miniature lung that mimics breathing and TB infection, opening new ...

A bizarre bacteria has been discovered with an ability previously thought impossible for its kind. This strange discovery could shine a light on how some of our earliest single-celled ancestors formed ...
