Nov. 17, 2023 — Researchers have rediscovered and successfully cultivating Rhabdamoeba marina -- a rare marine amoeba that has only been reported in two cases in the past century. Using this culture strain, they ...
Dec. 10, 2020 — Researchers have, inspired by the efficient foraging behavior of a single-celled amoeba, developed an analog computer for finding a reliable and swift solution to the traveling salesman problem -- a ...
Jan. 10, 2023 — All chlamydiae today live inside the cells of hosts ranging from amoeba to animals. A team of scientists found that the ancestor of chlamydiae likely already lived inside host cells, but that ...
Feb. 15, 2022 — Researchers have discovered that the ancestors of legionella bacteria infected eukaryotic cells as early as two billion years ago. It happened soon after eukaryotes began to feed on bacteria. These ...
Nov. 4, 2022 — The unreasonable use of antibiotics has pushed bacteria to develop resistance mechanisms to this type of treatment. This phenomenon, known as antibiotic resistance, is now considered by the WHO as ...
Apr. 13, 2021 — In a series of experiments that began with amoebas -- single-celled organisms that extend podlike appendages to move around -- scientists say they have identified a genetic pathway that could be ...
Oct. 26, 2023 — An electric knifefish shimmies in the water for the same reason a dog sniffs or a human glances around a new place -- to make sense of their surroundings. For the first time, scientists demonstrate ...
Feb. 25, 2022 — Researchers recently announced that an amoeba called Naegleria has evolved more distinct sets of tubulins, used for specific cellular processes, than previously thought. Their insight has a host of ...
Jan. 13, 2023 — A new study of domestic and hospital drinking water systems found Legionella in 41% of samples -- with researchers making a key connection between the pathogen's co-existence with a ...
Dec. 8, 2022 — Scientists say that a key to cellular movement is to regulate the electrical charge on the interior side of the cell membrane, potentially paving the way for understanding cancer, immune cell and ...
