Darwin's theory of natural selection provides an explanation for why organisms develop traits that help them survive and reproduce. Because of this, death is often seen as a failure rather than a ...

During E. coli cell division, the researchers observed increased mechanical stiffening of the cell division site. The researchers hypothesize this stiffening could be due to localized membrane tension ...

Christian Ganser, assistant professor, Exploratory Research Center on Life and Living Systems (ExCELLS) in the NINS, Okazaki, Japan During E. coli cell division, the researchers observed increased ...

In fact, we’ve seen Doom play on a myriad of things. And now, some scientists have even managed to run Doom on E. coli cells. Yes, you read that correctly. An MIT doctoral candidate by the name ...

In E. coli, the presence of certain group VIIIb transition metal compounds in concentrations of about 1–10 parts per million of the metal in the culture medium causes an inhibition of the cell ...

How do bacteria, lacking a nucleus, organize and pack their genome into the cell? Supercoiling enables this but forces a different kind of transcription and translation in prokaryotes. Aa Aa Aa ...

The new technique, high-speed in-line force mapping (HS-iFM) has been used to characterize the mechanical properties and appearance of dividing E. coli cells at both high resolution and speed.
