A study published in Nature Communications reveals, at near-atomic resolution, how a bacterial protein contorts itself to switch on the very genes that allow a cell to split in two — and why this discovery may open an entirely new front in the fight against antibiotic resistance. The ability of a cell to divide is,…
In the annals of scientific achievement, certain technical innovations fundamentally transform our capacity to observe the invisible machinery of life. On November 23, 2025, researchers unveiled a live-cell DNA sensor that captures the complete sequence of DNA damage and repair as it unfolds within living cells – a methodological advance that promises to reshape our…
