Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

The recall applies to retailers in the United States, but the shampoo, which potentially contains Klebsiella oxytoca bacteria, can also be purchased online in Europe. More than 1,000 bottles of ...

One in three women are affected by bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common but poorly understood condition caused by an imbalance of vaginal bacteria that can cause discomfort and pain. BV is treated ...

We developed a novel set of peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-based FISH probes with optimal target specificity by analyzing the variations in 16S ribosomal RNA sequence across all bacterial species." ...

In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, “phages.” Scientists have sought to learn how the single-cell ...

derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." Scientists have sought to learn how the single-cell organisms survive phage infection in a bid to further ...

This challenge has driven researchers to develop innovative strategies that target bacterial survival mechanisms without harming cells and tissues. The team's novel approach focuses on disrupting ...

Immune cells in the skin ‘cauterize’ open wounds and create ‘band-aids’ to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and foreign molecules from injury sites, finds a study 1 in mice.

Some 140 million years ago, a free-living bacteria that could grab all the nitrogen it wanted out of the water it was swimming in fused with an ancient algal cell. "One cell engulfs another," says ...

it became toxic to the cells and they burst. Whilst MdfA isn't present in most other forms of bacteria, ClpC and the recycling machine is, so similar proteins may be behind sporulation in other ...

The researchers focused on the system bacterial cells use for producing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). These chemicals are formed when the bacterial cells continue to have a good supply of carbon ...
