Bacterial cells are far simpler than animal cells - bacterial cells don't even have membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria or a nucleus. But a new study has suggested that bacterial cells are ...

Endosymbiotic organisms have to live inside of another to survive, and this relationship often provides benefits for both the host and its resident. It may seem unusual, but complex cells are thought ...

A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...

The world of biology and science never ceases to amaze us. This has been demonstrated by what a group of scientists has ...

E. coli is arguably the most well-studied organism on Earth, but scientists have now discovered a new behavior that’s almost never seen in bacteria. The normally single-celled organisms have shown ...

Researchers describe the full molecular structure of the phage DEV. DEV infects and lyses Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, an opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis and other diseases. DEV is part ...

Bacterial lipoproteins are essential components of the cell envelope, serving diverse roles that range from maintaining membrane integrity to mediating virulence and antibiotic resistance. These ...

Biologists mapping the human body have long assumed that every major kind of microscopic life inside us already had a place ...

Scientists have created new artificial microbes by combining two very different organisms into one functioning entity. The hybrid of a yeast and a bacterium adds evidence to a long-standing hypothesis ...

Human biology is the study of all aspects of the human organism including evolution, genetics, ecology, anatomy and physiology, development, anthropology, and nutrition, among others. A deep ...

While largely unnoticed, phages do not harm humans. On the contrary, these viruses are gaining increasing popularity as biomedicines to eradicate pathogenic bacteria, especially those associated with ...
