In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless ...
Scientists discover microgravity in space could help fight drug-resistant superbugs by creating unique viral mutations, ...
A research team says their findings could help tackle soaring antibiotic-resistant infections that cause urinary tract ...
Plants are quietly borrowing tricks from bacteria, repurposing foreign genes to build complex molecules that look a lot like ...
Scientists found that the space station phages gradually accumulated specific mutations that boosted their infectivity, or ...
On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different ...
Traditional biochemical methods of studying human gene mutations are often laborious and costly. Now bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new simple approach to ...
Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at ...
Who are the real mutants, and what’s going to cure them? Of course, we all are mutants – not just as the Homo sapiens sapiens limited-edition model from 4.5 billion years of mutation at Terrestrial ...
