The severe, long-lasting harm caused by plastic pollution to marine ecosystems and coastal economies has led to the development of biodegradable plastics; however, their limited decomposition in marin...

What good is the research university? At the University of Rochester, the answers get ever better.

The DNA-binding protein from starved cells (Dps) compacts bacterial DNA into stress-protective condensates, yet the physical mechanisms underlying this process and the material properties of the resul...

Dps is the most abundant nucleoid-associated protein in starved Escherichia coli with ∼180, 000 copies per cell. Dps binds DNA and oxidises iron, facilitating survival in harsh environments. Dps-DNA c...

DropSynth technology enables scalable and cost-effective exploration of antibiotic resistance across the DHFR protein family.

America’s scientific enterprise demands reliable stewardship, not destabilizing political intervention.

Bacteria with a gene from sea sponges can coat themselves in glass. Working as tiny, bendable lenses, they could lead to thinner cameras or sensors.

The reasons aren’t clear—and the agency’s director claims the president’s policies haven’t slowed grant awards

Nature Reviews Microbiology - In this Review, Ahmad et al. examine how antibiotics influence bacterial metabolism and how metabolism, in turn, affects drug efficacy and the emergence and evolution...

In September 2023, the Biology and Physics of Prokaryotic Chromosomes meeting ran at the Lorentz Center in Leiden, The Netherlands. As part of the workshop, those in attendance developed a series of ....

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

DNA-Points Accumulation for Imaging in Nanoscale Topography (DNA-PAINT) enables multiplexed super-resolution imaging of biological samples. We expand the repertoire of speed-optimized DNA sequences fo...

University of Rochester researchers draw inspiration from nature to create tiny, powerful microlenses for advanced image sensors.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

The student-led team used synthetic biology to harness clean energy from bacteria while simultaneously capturing and storing carbon dioxide.
