Complex assembly process involved in DNA virus replication revealed

In a twist on the question, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?", scientists have long faced a similar question about how human adenovirus replicates: "Which comes first, assembly of the viral particle, or packaging of the viral genome?"

UCI biologists discover how to ward off harmful effects caused by a high-fat diet

Eating lots of fats increases the risk of metabolic disorders, but the mechanisms behind the problem have not been well understood.

Understanding how surface factors influence or inhibit biofilm formation in the presence of antibiotics

Similar to how cells within human tissues communicate and function together as a whole, bacteria are also able to communicate with each other through chemical signals, a behavior known as quorum signaling (QS).

SFU researchers study pathogen genes to develop new drugs against bacterial infections

Researchers at Simon Fraser University are studying the genes of superbugs to aid the development of new and effective treatments for drug-resistant bacterial infections.

Researchers develop a method for making “mini-heart” using pluripotent stem cells

A team at the Technical University of Munich has induced stem cells to emulate the development of the human heart.

New anticancer agent activated by ultrasound waves does not have strong side effects

Chemotherapy treatments produce strong side effects. A new agent that accumulates in the tumor tissue and is activated thereby ultrasound waves does not have this problem.

Naturally produced molecule directly targets and keeps Fusobacteria under control

Researchers at the Forsyth Institute have discovered an important mechanism that may have profound implications for how we prevent colorectal cancer. Oddly enough, their discovery began in the mouth.

Scientists unearth some of the biological mechanisms behind ferroptosis

A team of researchers at Tohoku University has unearthed some of the biological mechanisms of ferroptosis, a recently discovered type of regulated cell death that is triggered by iron and the accumulation of lipid peroxidation - lipids that have undergone oxidative degeneration.
