Cell identity refers to the unique characteristics and properties that distinguish one type of cell from another within an organism. This identity is determined by…
Unexpectedly, the scientists found a unique microbial population that can metabolize sulfur and atmospheric gases, resembling the microorganisms detected in deep-sea hydrothermal vents or geothermal…
A photograph of a zebra. The University of Bristol researchers have uncovered the reason behind zebra fur being thinly striped and clearly defined. Their findings,…
Bacteriophage P74-26 structure illustration. Phage tails come in varying lengths and styles. The P74-26 bacteriophage has a tail ten times longer than most phages, measuring…
Shortcomings of current metagenomic analyses. Credit: Serrano-Antón et al., CC-BY 4.0 Research study of simulated microbial communities shows analyses are flawed by incomplete DNADNA, or…
An illustration of viruses called phages infecting a bacterial cell. Researchers have developed a modified strain of Escherichia coli bacteria that is resistant to natural…

A new study found that smaller Antarctic minke whales would not be able to survive, as they would not capture enough food using the lunge-feeding…
Scientists have recently identified a new anatomical structure in the brain called SLYM, an abbreviation of Subarachnoidal LYmphatic-like Membrane, that acts as a barrier and…

The study demonstrates that the creation of groups is not necessarily a result of social behavior, but can also be accounted for by individuals’ entirely…
The findings shed light on the mechanism by which drugs such as ibuprofen and aspirin alleviate flu symptoms and suggest that the drugs may even…
A robot punches out pinhead-sized pieces from a gel layer. The narrow blue bands contain proteins from a bacterial culture. Subsequently, the proteins contained in…
