“CRE is a significant clinical and public health concern, with a potential for widespread and rapid transmission within and between facilities. Our study demonstrates the strength of a collaborative approach

In fact, this tiny leaf slice carries enough information to identify the species to which it belongs. In a new key to the Neotropical palm genus Syagrus, published in the

“We had been studying components of this pathway for several years,” said senior author Dr. Andrea Ballabio, professor of molecular and human genetics at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas

In a paper published in Cell today, the researchers report the discovery and the new antibiotic’s mechanism of action. Pseudouridimycin inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase, the enzyme responsible for bacterial RNA

Published today in the journal PLOS Pathogens, the study is one of the first to identify a specific biological mechanism that prevents mosquitoes infected with this bacterium from transmitting diseases

“Engineering technologies aimed at autoimmune disease could pave the way for new treatment options,” said principal investigator and BIOE assistant professor Christopher Jewell. “However, in order to develop next-generation therapies,

An international team of researchers, including those from Princeton University, reported that a certain species of bees, called halictid bees, have more sensorial machinery compared with related solitary species. The

The study, published in PLOS Biology, looked at whether head movements change the responses of neurons that track sound location. “Our brains can represent sound location in either an egocentric

The distribution of quantum entanglement, especially across vast distances, holds important implications for quantum teleportation and communication networks. Yet, efforts to entangle quantum particles, essentially “linking” them together over long

New treatments are needed for malaria because of increasing drug resistance in the single-celled Plasmodium parasites that cause it. Metabolic processes in Plasmodium that are essential for its development could

Dengue is transmitted to people through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. Symptoms can range from a fever, rash, and headache to severe bleeding in dengue hemorrhagic fever. Infection from

Using experimental models of sepsis in mice the research team led by Miguel Soares at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência in Portugal discovered an unsuspected mechanism that is protective against
