"Mirror bacteria" could evade people's immune systems, they suggest, causing deadly infections. Such infections could also ...

No mirror-image life exists, but scientists are calling for the research to stop before it gets close to a breakthrough.

Biologists used artificial intelligence to make discoveries about molecules and the brain, and overturned long-held assumptions about the immune system and RNA.

While the authors, who included experts in immunology, plant pathology, ecology, evolutionary biology, biosecurity and planetary sciences, had initially been skeptical that mirror bacteria could ...
