Furthermore, if temperatures rise again microbe action will begin and the risk of heating and mold growth returns.

Perhaps a solution could be found through genetic engineering.

The Sloan Foundation gave me one more thing to be grateful for this Thanksgiving: a grant to evaluate the impacts of different surface finishes on

This work, published on November 23 in Cell Host & Microbe, may eventually shed light on inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease.

However, the microbe or toxin enters the body through the gastrointestinal tract and often causes the first symptoms there, so nausea, vomiting, ab

Staph and another microbe, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are two of the deadliest bacteria responsible for bloodstream infections that arise in people fi

There needs to be an interaction between the host and the microbe itself in order to cause disease.

Earth is composed of mysterious things. From the smallest to cell to the largest, it all plays an important role.

A rare microbe that was once thought to be insignificant has turned out to be one of the most abundant single-celled hunters in the ocean, and a te

A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism, and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microb

This microscopic diplonemid doesn’t look like much, but it’s one of the most abundant single-celled hunters in the ocean.

During their research, they found Toxoplasma, the microbe that is present in the infectious disease Toxoplasmosis.

The most prominent microbe found on the keypads?

Waiting until a newly emerging microbe is at your doorstep guarantees failure.

During an immune response to an infection, immune T cells that recognise the invading microbe increase in number through cell division, and become

What is inflammation and why does it matter?

Mother Noella, a Benedictin Nun of the Abbey of Regina Laudis, talks with correspondent Mo Rocca about enzymes - the catalyst in the traditional ch

So to get the kidlets pumped up about science as early as possible, how about these lovely microbe plush toys featuring culturally relevant disease

Martens notes that in addition to the gnotobiotic facility, the research was possible because of the microbe DNA and RNA sequencing capability buil

And sometimes, they act as urban planners, or politicians, or even gang members fighting each other for turf.

The original goal of this week was to perform DNA clean up via a PCR clean-up kit, but unfortunately the kits were on backorder.
