After so many years of learning how microbes work, researchers are now digitally recreating their inner workings to tackle challenges ranging from climate change to space colonization. In my work as a ...

Addressing the microbiome's translational gap involves understanding biological complexity and developing function-driven, patient-specific interventions.

Human metabolism is a complex web of chemical processes and interactions between our cells and the microbes living within us. The more scientists can identify and classify the molecules involved in ...

A recent study from Rutgers Health shows that ciprofloxacin, a common treatment for urinary tract infections, triggers an energy crisis in Escherichia coli (E. coli). This stress saves many bacterial ...

A new Rutgers Health study reveals a surprising twist in the antibiotic resistance story: instead of simply killing bacteria, drugs like ciprofloxacin can actually trigger a kind of microbial survival ...
