A Jacobs School researcher is focused on learning more about how tight junctions form naturally — and how their breakdown can lead to disease.

Viruses are so simple in their structure, they may not even qualify as living things. Yet, they are ruthless in their robotic ...

New studies show that a bacterial molecule, peptidoglycan, is present in the brain and fluctuates with sleep patterns. This challenges the idea that sleep is solely brain-driven, instead suggesting it ...

Fluorescent proteins can be turned into qubits within cells and could give us a deeper understanding of biology at the nanoscale level. Protein-based quantum bits (qubits) could be the key to ...

HIROSHIMA, Japan — Cancer researchers have discovered something remarkable hiding in plain sight: a common bacteria used to make sauerkraut and kimchi can transform stevia leaves into a potentially ...

The outer covering of most cells is a squishy, permeable double layer of fat molecules that encloses a cell’s gel-like interior and all its parts. But bacteria cells are different. Their outer ...
