Researchers at Umeå University have turned a protein from soil bacteria into a potential new weapon against colorectal cancer ...

The experiment should have been an exercise in futility. Bioengineer Eijiro Miyako had isolated two species of bacteria, one of which sometimes colonizes tumorous tissues, and used them in an attempt ...

A bacterium from frog gut microbiota eliminated tumors in mice by selectively colonizing tumors and triggering both direct ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) swims in a tank at the Center for Regenerative Therapies at the Technical University in Dresden, ...

The microbial arms race, in which bacteria battle with each other, viruses, and other organisms for space and nutrients, has ...

Engineered bacteria reprogram tumor macrophages and direct copper into cancer cells, triggering cell death and systemic immunity without damaging healthy tissue. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Tumors do not ...

A single protein bolted to the inner membrane of a bacterial cell can shred a virus’s DNA before that genetic material ever ...

EPFL researchers show that cholera bacteria can exchange protective genes, including antiviral immune systems, when they live in aquatic environments. The finding helps explain how these pathogens ...

New study shows how bacteria adapted a virus-derived injection system to recognize and attach to many different types of cells. By systematically identifying thousands of rapidly evolving ...
