These nanomaterials form when certain bacteria detoxify ... One study detailed the intracellular assembly and growth of tellurium nanorods, elucidating a mechanism that mirrors chemical surfactant ...

In liquid culture conditions, it can survive an acute blast of up to 25,000Gy and under chronic gamma radiation exposure (60Gy per hour), it not only survives, but thrives, continuing to grow and ...

NASA scientists have accidentally uncovered 26 previously unknown species of bacteria—a discovery ... These organisms’ robust survival mechanisms could unintentionally compromise future ...

A powerful bacterial superbug is making headlines ... has developed a disturbing survival mechanism. The bug not only resists treatment but can also “digest” polycaprolactone, a type of ...

The emergence of biological novelty is often coupled to the evolution of Earth’s chemical environment. Here, we studied how the evolution of a bacterial CO 2-concentrating mechanism (CCM)—a complex, ...

First described for rickettsiae, the plaque assay methods have been adapted to other intracellular bacterial pathogens. There is no single model, thus each assay should be refined depending on the ...

June 15, 2025 — Underground fungi may be one of Earth s most powerful and overlooked allies in the fight against climate change, yet most of them remain unknown to science. Known only by DNA ...

Similar to other positive-strand RNA viruses, HCV is believed to replicate in association with intracellular membranes, although the details of the replication-complex assembly and the role of the ...

“Whether it’s the sloth that’s slow or the spider that’s small, these animals have turned their disadvantages into survival mechanisms through years of evolution.” Wildlife experts will ...

This valuable study presents a novel approach to enhance the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) by genetically modifying their glycogen synthesis pathway, resulting in increased ...
