CD Bioparticles launches comprehensive OMV-Based Bacterial Vaccines Development services for infectious disease and ...

Scientists who have described in a new study the step-by-step details of a bacterial defense strategy see the mechanism as a promising platform for development of a new genome-editing method. The ...

Many insects rely on heritable bacterial endosymbionts for essential nutrients that they cannot get through their diet. A new study, published in Nature Communications, indicates that the genomes of ...

While largely unnoticed, phages do not harm humans. On the contrary, these viruses are gaining increasing popularity as biomedicines to eradicate pathogenic bacteria, especially those associated with ...

The human gut microbiome can be affected bya variety of things including our diet or medications. But how do we influence it?

The genome structure — how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism — is fundamental to the processes and functions of organisms. A team at the University of Tokyo has developed a ...

Scientists found an unexpected viral hitchhiker lurking inside a common gut bacterium – and it was twice as prevalent in people with colorectal cancer.

Bacteria frozen for thousands of years could hold the key to developing new antibiotics, researchers have found.

Researchers found three bacteriophages disable MurJ, a key cell wall transporter, by locking it outward-facing. This blocks peptidoglycan synthesis, killing bacteria and revealing a new antibiotic ...

(Nanowerk News) Targeted editing of genetic information has advanced at an extraordinary pace in recent years. Tools such as the CRISPR-Cas9 “gene scissors” and base editing—a technique that makes ...

Bacteria have evolved to adapt to all of Earth's most extreme conditions, from scorching heat to temperatures well below zero ...
