At the microscopic edge of biology, researchers have uncovered an organism so stripped down that it forces a rethink of what ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

Because they rely on hosts for a majority of functions, viruses aren’t considered alive. But entities like this one ...

Viruses are typically described as tiny, perfectly geometric shells that pack genetic material with mathematical precision, ...

Researchers found that icosahedral viruses deliberately break symmetry using a single chemical bond to control RNA release.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has published the 2026 list of prohibited substances and methods, which comes into force on 1 January.

Research revealed how bacteriophages use a tiny piece of genetic material to hijack bacterial cells and make more copies of themselves.

When this occurs, a process known as the ribotoxic stress response (RSR) begins. The RSR triggers protective pathways that either repair the underlying problem or, if the damage is too severe, ...

Natural products industry companies share overviews on the latest science on their dietary supplement branded ingredients and ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...
