Feeling down? Recent research from Harvard found that consuming a certain type of fruit can significantly lower your risk of depression. Here's how.

Oxidoreductases play crucial roles in electron transfer during biological redox reactions. These reactions are not exclusive to protein-based biocatalysts; nano-size (<100 nm), fine-grained inorganic ...

High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) regulated gene expression is one of the most commonly adopted strategies for microbial adaptation to the deep-sea environments. Previously we showed that the ...

Antibiotics that work for one type of germ may not work for others. Overusing or misusing antibiotics can lead to bacteria that can't be stopped by an antibiotic (antibiotic resistance). It is ...
