A research team has discovered a microbial metabolite that destroys dopamine-producing neurons. Further experiments showed that Parkinson-like symptoms occur as a result. This research, led by Thomas ...

The underlying causes of Parkinson's disease, a debilitating neurodegenerative condition, are not well understood. While genetic mutations are known to cause Parkinson's, a staggering 90% of cases are ...

A new study published in Biochemistry sheds light on how bacteria regulate their genes, challenging long-held assumptions about protein behavior. The research compares how two bacterial ...

A remarkable quality of bioengineering is that scientists can take biological processes honed by millions of years of ...

Climate change is an urgent, global problem, and reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere requires novel solutions. Despite the massive scale of the situation, one researcher is taking ...

Beadle and Tatum's work is worthy of fond celebration not only for its inherent scientific merit--its impact on biochemical research continues to resonate today--but also because it convincingly ...

This collaboration, between a bacterial biochemist and a condensed-matter physicist, uses light to control the movement and arrangement of cyanobacteria, forming two- and three-dimensional nematic ...

A research team has demonstrated that native plant litter can biologically “trigger” waste rock-based soils, helping them ...

SYRAUCSE, N.Y. – Feb. 3, 2026 — The only thing blue in Dr. Jennifer Goff’s microbial biochemistry class this week was the cheese, as students enjoyed a small charcuterie while learning about ...
