Viruses that evolved on the space station and were sent back to Earth were more effective at killing bacteria
Near-weightless conditions can mutate genes and alter the physical structures of bacteria and phages, disrupting their normal ...
MMR-deficient P. aeruginosa possesses a distinct mutational signature that is linked to rapid acquisition of drug resistance. Credit: Nature Communications (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-55206-w ...
Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein engineering.
Genetic mutations, oxidative stress, smoking, oral bacteria, and age-related blood mutations have been identified as early ...
Spacecraft are assembled in specialized “cleanrooms” that are designed to avoid contamination from dust and microorganisms.
The code of life is simple. Four genetic letters arranged in triplets—called codons—encode amino acids. These are the building blocks of proteins, the machinery that powers life. But the genetic code ...
The gut microbiome has been shown to influence tumor growth and contribute to therapeutic resistance. Scientists have ...
Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at ...
Duke-NUS and NUHS scientists uncover a complex web of genetic, age-related and microbial factors that increase the risk of stomach cancer.Age-related blood cell mutations may trigger early changes in ...
