Space-based experiments show that microgravity-induced mutations in bacteriophages may improve their ability to target ...

In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless "microgravity" conditions aboard the International Space Station, but the ...

On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different paths ...

Far from Earth's gravitational pull, a simple viral infection took on a new evolutionary direction. A study conducted aboard the ISS found that when bacteria and ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School and the National University Health System (NUHS), together with an international team ...

Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at the University of Basel created a new test that tracks individual bacteria ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Increased consumption of ultraprocessed foods can impact children’s gut health and immunity, leaving them more susceptible to the ...

In space, bacteriophages mutate in ways not seen on Earth, making them more effective at killing drug-resistant bacteria.

Viruses infected bacteria differently on the ISS than on Earth Microgravity altered infection speed, growth, and mutations ...

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 ...
