Our cells rely on microscopic highways and specialized protein vehicles to move everything—from positioning organelles to carting protein instructions to disposing of cellular garbage. These highways ...

When we think of cholera, most of us picture contaminated water and tragic outbreaks in vulnerable regions. But behind the scenes, cholera bacteria are locked in a fierce, microscopic war-one that ...

As an undergraduate student, after taking my first microbiology course, I decided that I would commit to a biology major. I ...

To do this, the scientists immobilized viruses individually on microscopy glass surfaces. Cells were then seeded on top. In conventional experiments, the viruses are added on top of pre-seeded cells. ...
