CRISPR-Cas9 has long been likened to a kind of genetic scissors, thanks to its ability to snip out any desired section of DNA ...

Scientists have uncovered how certain E. coli bacteria in the gut promote colon cancer by binding to intestinal cells and ...

"It's a completely brand-new type of CRISPR chemistry," says co-first author Christian Baca, a TPCB graduate student in the Marraffini lab. "It's more evidence that CRISPR systems have an array of ...

The newly identified ST164 strain of antibiotic-resistant CRAB bacteria is spreading in Asia, posing a global health risk due to high resistance and limited treatment options. Rigorous infection ...

Researchers have also detected biomolecular condensates in prokaryotic, or bacterial, cells, which traditionally were defined as not containing organelles. This finding could have profound effects ...

Once activated by the bacterial vaccine, the immune system would be prompted to eliminate cancer cells that have spread throughout the body and prevent further metastatic development.

rustigianii carries a cytolethal distending toxin virulence gene on its plasmid. Elimination of this gene did not reduce the bacteria's virulence, however. "Using the pathogenicity gene discovered ...

Then she dunked them in the ice water, sampled bacteria from each chilled tube and watched for colonies to grow from live cells. Despite growing at warm temperatures, the cells that experienced short, ...
