A technique developed by Politecnico di Milano researchers is enabling scientists to control specific bacterial functions ...

A protein that gives fleas their bounce has been used to boot out bacteria cells, with lab results demonstrating the material ...

Breathing, at its core, is about moving electrons. In humans and most other organisms, oxygen acts as the final destination ...

Rather than being like battery chargers, mitochondria are more like the motherboard of the cell.

The rise of VRE through the 1990s focused our attention on how natural product antibiotic scaffolds such as those of vancomycin and the related teicoplanin were assembled, 29, 30 in part to ...

Thus, formed colistin is active against MDR bacteria and CMS is an inactive prodrug. Colistin displaces divalent cations from the phosphate groups of membrane lipids, which leads to disruption of ...
