The genetic culprits responsible for the spread of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria have been identified by new research mapping 100 years of bacterial evolution. Experts at the Wellcome Sanger ...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—the so-called “forever chemicals”—have long been known to accumulate in the human body, raising alarms due to links with decreased fertility, cardiovascular ...
The genome structure — how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism — is fundamental to the processes and functions of organisms. A team at the University of Tokyo has developed a ...
Can ancient bacteria resist modern antibiotics? A 5,000-year-old strain discovered in ice shows resistance predates modern medicine.
Humans' exposure to high temperature burn injuries may have played an important role in our evolutionary development, shaping how our bodies heal, fight infection, and sometimes fail under extreme ...
