Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group of proteins that shepherds electrons forward, passing them along like a ...

Some bacteria can take a punch that would crush a submarine. In a new set of impact tests, one desert microbe, Deinococcus ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

A famously resilient bacterium may be tough enough to survive one of the most violent events imaginable on Mars. In ...

Two people were saved in a heart-stopping rescue after their hot air balloon collided with a Texas cell tower Saturday ...

Cells were long believed to safeguard nuclear contents, releasing them only during cell death. Extracellular DNA was thought ...

Researchers in Japan have identified a striking new way immune cells strip DNA out of dying neighbors, a process they call ...

The Walloon Brabant Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed that an ongoing investigation into the convicted murderer and paedophile Marc Dutroux concerns the possession of images of the sexual abuse of ...

The extremophile bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans can survive the pressures developed during ejection from Mars as a result of massive asteroid impact. According to the authors, microorganisms can ...

Tau hyperphosphorylation is linked to neurodegeneration in tauopathies including Alzheimer’s disease. Tau binds microtubules cooperatively to form cohesive tau envelopes, which are thought to control ...

A super-tough microbe may be able to survive being blasted from Mars into space—opening the door to interplanetary life transfer.
