Project title: “Evolution of Polar Cell Wall Growth Across Bacterial Clades” What’s the idea?

To build their self-reproduction structures, the team began with an aqueous solution containing monomers to be polymerized, a ...

Researchers aboard the Tiangong space station and the International Space Station (ISS) regularly test their orbital quarters ...

On Earth there is no record of Niallia tiangongensis, a bacterium found aboard the Tiangong station that appears to be well ...

Tissues consist of a heterogenous mixture of different cell types, complicating our understanding of their biological ...

The findings, published in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology, describe how this cable bacterium forms long filaments by connecting rod-shaped cells end to end, with a shared outer ...

The team isolated the bacterium from intertidal sediment samples collected from the Yaquina Bay estuary. Cable bacteria consist of rod-shaped cells attached end to end with a shared outer membrane, ...

Found in a mudflat off the coast of Oregon, this organism’s electricity-conducting abilities could make it ideal for bioelectric devices.

Using an experimental technique called "Oz," researchers stimulated the human retina such that people saw a brand-new color.

How chromosomes shape up for cell division Scientists have shown how overlapping loops of DNA stack upon each other in dividing cells to give rise to rod-shaped chromosomes Date: March 24, 2025 ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a groundbreaking method called LoopTrace. By observing overlapping DNA loops ...

The team looked at disk-, rod- and U-shaped tumoroids and they found higher cell activity and higher proliferation at the positive curvatures—where the tumor shape is convex, outward curving.
