Your gut is not just a reflection of what you eat or which probiotics you buy. It is also, emerging research suggests, partly ...

Scientists studying thousands of rats discovered that gut bacteria are shaped by both personal genetics and the genetics of ...

Analysing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique of single-cell transcriptomics developed in W rzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods: It ...

Gut bacteria rapidly adapt to processed food additives, revealing how modern diets can reshape microbial evolution worldwide.

Engineered oncolytic bacteria have emerged as a promising therapeutic platform for precision cancer treatment, offering tumor-specific colonization, immune activation, and controllable therapeutic ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are ...

Gut bacteria evolve rapidly in response to different diets, UCLA evolutionary biologists report in a new study. The ...

Bacterial gene regulation is a finely tuned process essential for cellular adaptation and survival. Central to this regulation are nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs), which not only compact the ...

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 ...

To test whether some of the cold-adapted genes had the same effects on other types of bacteria, Nano inserted Arctic versions of a DNA ligase into strains of __Salmonella enterica__ and ...

Scientists discover 26 new bacterial species in NASA cleanrooms, revealing surprisingly resilient microbes with potential ...
