A research team led by scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) has introduced a new ...

James Chappell, associate professor of biosciences and bioengineering at Rice University. In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, ...

Researchers showed that the way in which genes are turned on and off as bacteria grow provide clues to their regulation. Bacterial infections cause millions of deaths each year, with the global threat ...

What if brushing and flossing one day became unnecessary—not because oral hygiene was unimportant, but because our mouths ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

Pathogens are becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics. With the goal of developing new therapeutic approaches to ...

AI designed new bacteriophages that killed E. coli in lab tests, promising advances but raising safety concerns.

Zhang, a UC Berkeley professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, is trying to distinguish the healthy bacteria in our ...

Scientists are exploring how engineered bacteria could reduce cavities and make brushing less necessary by reshaping your ...

New research from the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Center has found that genes play an active role in shaping the ...
