Bacteria that rarely tumble are likely to get trapped by obstacles, slowing dispersion. Bacteria that tumble frequently often “retrace their steps,” also slowing dispersion. Dispersion is maximized by ...

A newly developed therapy inspired by bacteria residing within tumors offers a different way to combat cancer by targeting ...

These “living therapeutics” can sustain themselves in vivo and survive in biological environments including tumors, inflamed ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have developed an anti-cancer therapy inspired by bacteria found in cancer tumors. When tested in combination with radiation in animal models of ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...

The peptide ‘aurB’ – derived from a tumour-associated bacteria found in the cancer's microenvironment – has targeted ...

Some things just go together in your belly: peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, bacteria and bacteria-eating viruses. For the bacterial species that inhabit your gut, there’s a frenzy of viruses ...

Infectious bacteria are growing more resistant to the effects of common antibacterial drugs, for a variety of reasons. Some ...
