A new study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

Respiratory infections are among the leading causes of illness and death in the elderly, driven by immune aging, chronic ...

Bacteria that rarely tumble are likely to get trapped by obstacles, slowing dispersion. Bacteria that tumble frequently often “retrace their steps,” also slowing dispersion. Dispersion is maximized by ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to encode three-dimensional cellular life. “I was quite shocked, truly,” said ...
