The discovery of giant viruses has changed what we thought we knew about microbes. Researchers have now learned more about giant viruses that can infect bacterial cells, so-called jumbo phages.

A study published on August 10, 2023 in the journal Nature Communications has identified a new pathway that human immune deficiency virus (HIV) uses to enter the nucleus of a healthy cell, where it ...

In A Nutshell Researchers at Tokyo University of Science developed a method to create fluorescent, irregularly shaped nano-plastic particles from polypropylene, polyethylene, and PET, the same ...

Humans aren’t the only targets for viruses. Like us, bacteria become infected by many types of viruses. In fact, across billions of years, bacteria and viruses have engaged in a non-stop evolutionary ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing ...

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and ...

Imagine trying to poke a hole in the yolk of a raw egg without breaking the egg white. It sounds impossible, but researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a technology that ...
