Acetic acid might be used as an inexpensive and non-toxic disinfectant against drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) bacteria as well as other stubborn, disinfectant-resistant mycobacteria.

The study applied new numerical methods that calculate the rate of evolution of different characteristics across a whole evolutionary tree.

The proposed naming process begins by sampling and sequencing an organism’s DNA. The sequence is then used to generate a code unique to that individual organism based on its similarity to all previously sequenced organisms.

The Pell Laboratory for Advanced Biological Studies at Penn State University has received an Honor Award from the New England chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

A specialized 3D printing extruder could lower the costs of printing cellular structures for use in drug testing

Bugs, bats, and air cultures to be examined as blimp travels across the USA.

A team of researchers at Chalmers University of Technology has found that kidney cancer cells have a quite different metabolism than other types of malignancies. The findings pave the way for new methods of diagnosing kidney cancer at an early stage, a feat that had eluded researchers earlier, and thereby fresh approaches to treatment.

Early Step toward Treatment for Diseases that Affect Blood Flow.

For plants, the only way to grow is for cells to expand. Unlike animals, cell division in plants happens only within a tiny region of the root and stem apex, making cell expansion the critical path to increased stature.
