New drugs that target "zombie" tuberculosis (TB) cells are now a step closer, thanks to a new study led by the University of Surrey, published in Scientific Reports.

An international research team led by the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research (HZI) has discovered a new strategy used by the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa to adapt to its host. In the ...

Bacteria don't have microtubules or actin filaments, but still manage to coordinate movement within the cell. As a student, Anthony Vecchiarelli, Ph.D., found it astounding that "we don't know how ...
