Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs.

Some microbes have caught the public's attention this summer. Some have been called "flesh-eating," others "brain-eating." Certain strains of very rare, dangerous microbes made headlines this summer ...

Light is a universal stimulus that influences all living things. Cycles of light and dark help set the biological clocks for ...

Researchers have developed a new method for detecting foodborne pathogens that is faster, cheaper, and more effective than existing methods. Their microfluidic chip uses light to detect multiple types ...

A genomic test developed at UC San Francisco to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen – virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite – has proved successful after a decade of use. The test has the ...

Purdue University researchers found that a subset of epidermal cells in plant leaves serves as early responders to chemical cues from bacterial pathogens and communicate this information to neighbors ...
