Polyphosphate (polyP) exists in all life forms; however, its biological functions in metazoans are understudied. Here, we explored Drosophila as the first genetic model to explore polyP biology in ...

Imagine a world where we could predict the behavior of life just by analyzing a sequence of letters. This is not science ...

The discovery of a previously underestimated capability in archaeal, one of the three primary domains of life, is changing our comprehension of energy generation and the origins of eukaryotic life.

Mar. 4, 2025 — A vivid new image is taking shape in the world of cell biology: Imagine bacteria adhering to the surface of a cell, perhaps at the site of an injury or wound. In response ...

Molecular Biology is the field of biology that studies the composition, structure and interactions of cellular molecules such as nucleic acids and proteins that carry out the biological ...

In fact, people often got sicker than they would have if they had not received it. But then came molecular biology and structural biology, and people were able to find the key to how the cell would ...

model for biology. The model — which was trained on 128,000 genomes spanning the tree of life, from humans to single-celled bacteria and archaea — can write whole chromosomes and small genomes ...

There is an urgent and growing need for novel and effective antimicrobial agents to combat the increasing number of pathogens resistant to multiple classes of antimicrobial chemotherapeutics.

Their findings were published in Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences. “We tested three types of microbes – two bacteria and one type of archaea – and found that they all moved toward a chemical ...

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 ...

“Literally every single day he sat in front of those fingerprints and analyzed them,” says George Fox, a postdoctoral fellow in the Woese lab from 1973 to 1977 and now a professor of biology and ...
