Two strains of the bacterium causing TB have only minor genetic differences but attack the lungs in a completely different way, according to researchers, which may explain why treatments work in some patients and not others.

A chip-based infection model enables live microscopic observation of damage to lung tissue caused by the invasive fungal infection aspergillosis.

A study has shown that it is possible to make methane-consuming bacteria generate power in the lab.

Researchers examined how pasta swells, softens and becomes sticky as it takes up water and the role salt plays, combining measurements to form a theoretical model for the swelling dynamics and perfectly cooked pasta.

New research has shown that prior infection with common coronaviruses does not produce protective antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, despite the viruses having significant sequence similarity.

Researchers have demonstrated that some plant species could help to remove toxic heavy metals and metalloids from contaminated soil.
