Researchers are puzzling out a central mechanism for how some proteins navigate inside bacterial cells: Rather than using biochemical cues, they appear to rely on the cells' geometry, sensing the ...

In lab tests, Magnolia essential oil disrupted harmful bacteria and neutralized free radicals, showing promise as a natural ...

"We have established that these genes are particularly important for cell growth—e.g. those whose products assemble the ...

Bioinformaticians have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. They describe that the genes are arranged by function: If they become increasingly important ...
