In a newly published study, Yale University researchers detail how they engineered a system that tricks bacteria to deliver a safer vaccine, which could be…
A new study from UCLA suggests that certain bacteria can pretend to be viruses when infecting humans, allowing them to hijack the body’s immune response…
UCLA-led researchers have developed a “pill” that uses two enzymes to mimic the action of the human liver in fighting alcohol intoxication. In a discovery…
In a newly published study, scientists have shown that an oxysterol called 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC) suppresses HIV growth in vivo. A team of researchers led by…
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute have shown how sunken wood can develop into attractive habitats for a variety of microorganisms and invertebrates due to…
Researchers at UCLA have shown that body-fat responses to high-fat, high-sugar diets have a very strong genetic component and have identified several genetic factors potentially…
A new study indicates how the first cells might have evolved from rocks, water and hot alkaline fluid rich in hydrogen gas spewing out of…
Scientists have found evidence of fungi thriving far below the floor of the Pacific Ocean, in nutrient-starved sediments more than 100 million years old. This…
