Bacterial gene regulation is a finely tuned process essential for cellular adaptation and survival. Central to this regulation are nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs), which not only compact the ...

The problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has many health experts worried. As disease-causing bacteria adapt to some of ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

How do bacteria—harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease—organize their activities? A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, ...

Given the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, novel ways to target bacterial infections are becoming increasingly important. One potential strategy is to manipulate bacterial genes at the ...

The cartoon illustrates how single-cell transcriptomics works: all mRNA molecules are recorded and characterized from countless bacterial cells, which are shown here in survival size on a conveyor ...

Researchers have identified the major mechanism behind the transition between chronic and acute P. aeruginosa infections. Their research findings can inform the development of future treatments for ...

Plants make substances called alkaloids to protect themselves, and humans have long taken advantage of these chemicals, using ...
