Bacteria gifting their colleagues with the defences against antibiotics
Bacteria has found many ways to tackle the antibiotics during the course of time and the most common example is antibiotic resistance. What’s New A recent study found a new method using which a particular type of bacteria are helping their friends ( which means other bacteria) to develop resistance to antibiotics. It’s like bacteria sharing notes among them. Bacteria…

Scientist Discovered New Gene Affecting Immune Response
A new study led by the team of researchers from Australia’s national science agency CSIRO have found a new gene which controls the immune response of the body against infection and diseases. During their study, researchers found that there is a gene called C6 which regulates the production of proteins which leads to infectious disease, cancer, and diabetes. This gene…

Virus Gene Helping Bacteria to Survive in Absence of Essential Gene
A new research led by the team of researchers from Uppsala University, Sweden have found that the bacteriophage which is a virus and infects bacteria also helps bacteria to develop new function by revealing the undiscovered potential of their bacterial host. This new discovery also has solved the mystery of evolutionary biology i.e. how new function arises which means how…

Researchers Developed A New Mutation Prevention System
DNA is a long thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions in the unique genetic code and mere change or even point mutations can lead to life-threatening diseases. These point mutations can transform single cell in the human body into a cancerous tumor or they can turn antibiotic-sensitive into antibiotic-resistant bacteria that cause untreatable infections. In an ideal world,…
