Bacteria reproduce at regular intervals. An example might be every 20 minutes. This allows mathematical calculations to be made in order to predict how many bacteria will be present in a given ...

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 ...

Nov. 5, 2024 — New research from reveals that the gut microbiome regulates the body's diurnal (day-night) rhythms in stress hormones. Depletion of gut microbiota results in disruptions in the ...

Called transposons, these mobile genetic elements are "important ways for bacteria to develop adaptations to the environment without having to reinvent them themselves completely," Vineis says.

Resistance continuously increases in Gram-negative and -positive bacteria. Spread mechanisms include integrons and complex transposons. Some antibiotic resources should be revisited (e.g., silver ...

Having healthy, diverse bacteria in your gut is linked to many health benefits, including improving immune function, and lower incidence of heart disease, diabetes, asthma, depression, irritable ...

A critical transition in early human development is regulated not by our own genes, but by DNA elements called transposons that can move around the genome, Sinai Health researchers have found.

Genetically engineered bacteria can work together to spot prime numbers, identify vowels or even work out the maximum number of slices a pizza can be cut into. The researchers behind the study say ...
