Scientists simulated an asteroid impact, and Deinococcus radiodurans’ cell membranes made it through. This suggests that life ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an ...

Scientists have engineered bacteria to produce designer proteins by smuggling artificial amino acids, enabling precise drug delivery and multifunctional applications.

Researchers simulated nearly every molecule in a bacterial cell — and then watched the cell grow and reproduce.

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point. The so-called plasma membrane lets cells control ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

When we discuss bacterial infections, we often think of exotoxins—those soluble proteins actively secreted by bacteria—while overlooking endotoxins, which are more insidious but equally dangerous.
