Nov. 4, 2024 — A research team has discovered two remarkable species of bacteria in the tissue of two deep-sea corals from the Gulf of Mexico. These previously unknown symbionts of the corals ...

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 ...

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.

The most common bacteria that causes foodborne illness is the Campylobacter bacteria. These infections are commonly caused by eating raw or undercooked poultry. Other common bacterial infections ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
