A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

Recent research has delved deep into the manifold ways in which diet can affect gut health throughout a person's life. Here ...

Detectives often find important clues by digging through rubbish. That approach paid off tremendously for systems biologist Yifat Merbl. When she and her team investigated cellular recycling centres ...

Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have developed a promising new substance for targeting bacteria that cause tuberculosis. The team have produced a compound that inhibits ...

This paper aims to critique the argument constructed by Anna Smajdor and Joona Räsänen that pregnancy is a disease. Their argument that pregnancy fits the features of disease they enumerate stems from ...
