Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

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

This process happens through physical contact between two bacteria. A "bridge" forms, allowing the plasmid to pass from one cell to the other. This mechanism is one of the primary ways by which ...

Researchers have engineered bacteria as personalized cancer vaccines that activate the immune system to specifically seek out and destroy cancer cells. Columbia researchers have engineered ...

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 ...

They do not have a metabolism or replicate unless they infect a cell and use the host's resources to replicate. Because viruses need a host, that would suggest bacteria evolved first, right?

Researchers discovered that the CRISPR-Cas10 system not only cuts viral DNA but also produces toxic cyclic-oligoadenylates ...

A: Animal; ACE: Accessory cholera enterotoxin; H: Human; ZOT: Zonula occludens toxin.

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.
