The duplication and division of cells is critical to keeping all multicellular organisms alive. But the opposite process is equally important: cell death.

The Min protein system prevents abnormal cell division in bacteria, but is poorly understood. Researchers have uncovered how engineered e.coli bacteria control protein levels for maximum efficiency.

A research team has developed an innovative membrane that mimics biological ion channels to achieve highly selective lithium ...
