Jan. 28, 2025 — New research has identified a unique genetic signature in bacteria that can predict their likelihood of developing antibiotic resistance, a finding that can help quickly identify ...

A new study reveals that close social contacts, such as friends, influence the composition of the microbiota — the community ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Bacteria can detect environmental threats by sensing peptidoglycan fragments from dying cells, prompting them to form protective biofilms. This response involves ...

Coral bleaching and mortality are substantially overestimated in most model projections that are based on Degree Heating Months instead of Degree Heating Weeks, calling into question results ...

Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator (CARB-X) will award a seed grant of $610,000 to Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU) to support the definition of a lead ...

Bacteria respond to this danger signal by producing a small signaling molecule known as c-di-GMP, which triggers biofilm formation. Biofilms are complex, three-dimensional structures of living ...

Jan. 30, 2025 — Zika virus hijacks the skin of its human host to send out chemical signals that lure more mosquitoes to infect and spread the disease further, new research ...

In accordance with its Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation, the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) is governed by its Board of Directors. The Full BIO Board of Directors is comprised of all ...

Synthetic biologists modify naturally occurring amino acid sequences to engineer proteins and enzymes for specific ...

In this form, the filamentous bacteria can move around ... and therefore offer promising applications in biotechnology. As bio-solar collectors, for example, they can be used to produce biofuel.

Our biological sciences students explore the complexities of life and work to address global challenges in biology. Our faculty advance knowledge in a wide range of disciplines within the biological ...
