When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

In a breakthrough discovery, published in Nature Communications, scientists from Queen Mary University of London in collaboration with researchers at Newcastle University and The Francis Crick ...

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," goes the old adage, which Rice University professor James Chappell completely ignored in a ...

E. coli divides faster than it can replicate its genome, while simultaneously expressing its genes. Scientists recently revealed the intricate molecular coordination that makes this possible. “It’s as ...

Researchers have demonstrated how bacteria coordinate cell division with the replication of their genetic material. In an interdisciplinary study they explain why the current concept of the bacterial ...
