Whole-Cell Simulation Reveals How Photosynthetic Bacteria Stabilize Fluctuating Energy

For some tiny microbes, access to light is essential for life. Organisms that convert light and carbon dioxide (CO₂) to the energy they need to live must continually adjust when light conditions change.

Why Do tRNAs Carry Extra Triplets Where They “Shouldn’t” Be?

The genetic code sets the relationship between genetic instructions and amino acids, the building blocks that form proteins. How this relationship first emerged is a key unresolved topic in evolutionary biology.

A Computer Made of Bacteria? Here’s How It Actually Works

A research team led by McGill University has created a biocomputer using bacteria that is capable of addressing large and intricate challenges while utilizing only a small percentage of the memory and resources that conventional “solid-state” computers demand.

Major Virology Breakthrough Identifies Third Known Family of Bacteria Infecting RNA Viruses

Thriving alongside trillions of bacteria in the human digestive tract is a vast population of viruses. Ever since one such denizen of the gut microbiome, known as picobirnavirus, was first spotted decades ago, researchers thought it directly infected human tissue and played a role in gastrointestinal illness.

Aberrant RNA Splicing Generates Immunogenic Neoantigens in Systemic Lupus

Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) and the University of Washington (UW) have discovered that patients with lupus have unusual mutations that may turn their bodies into battlegrounds.

St. Jude Scientists Discover Gene-Regulatory Pathway Protecting Gut Immune Balance

Trillions of bacteria live in the human gut without triggering an immune response. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have now discovered a gene-regulatory pathway that helps maintain this delicate balance. Published today in Science Advances, they showed that a type of immune cell, regulatory T cells, co-opt a well-known general gene expression pathway called COMPASS to suppress inappropriate immune responses and prevent lethal inflammation and autoimmunity.

New DNA Test Detects Listeria in Ice Cream and Reveals How It Survives Freezing

Researchers developed a PMA-ddPCR assay to detect and quantify potentially viable Listeria monocytogenes in ice cream, identifying the pathogen in two of 500 commercial samples and demonstrating good agreement with conventional culture-based measurements. The method also supported predictive models of bacterial growth under different temperature conditions, while experiments showed that the pathogen could survive 240 days of frozen storage without substantial changes in population levels.
