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 ...

To address the global threat of antibiotic resistance, scientists are on the hunt for new ways to sneak past a bacterial cell's defense system. Taking what they learned from a previous study on ...

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.

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 ...

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, ...
