“Mirror bacteria” made in a lab could endanger all life on earth, an international group of leading scientists have warned in a new report. All building-block molecules of life like DNA, proteins and ...

Researchers link higher levels of CAG-170 gut bacteria to better health across 39 countries and multiple chronic diseases.

Researchers have identified gut bacteria that can absorb toxic "forever chemicals" in lab mice, according to a new study, potentially offering up a way to control PFAS levels in humans. PFAS, or ...

A mysterious, hard-to-grow gut bacterium keeps showing up in healthy people worldwide—and it may be quietly protecting our microbiomes.

Scientists at LSU have patented a novel way to kill cancer cells using staph bacteria, sometimes called the “superbug.” ...

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that constantly “sense” their surroundings to survive and thrive. New research shows that beneficial gut microbes, especially common Clostridia bacteria, can ...

A large-scale laboratory screening of human-made chemicals has identified 168 chemicals that are toxic to bacteria found in the healthy human gut. These chemicals stifle the growth of gut bacteria ...

By simplifying the engineering process and expanding what can be built, the Golden Gate method greatly broadens the possibilities for scientists working to develop bacteriophages as tools to combat ...

University of Basel (Switzerland) and University Hospital Basel researchers discovered 35 unknown bacterial pathogens in blood or tissue samples, including seven that caused clinical infections. The ...

All building-block molecules of life like DNA, proteins and carbohydrates have a unique structural property that still perplexes scientists. They have what is called structural asymmetry, or chirality ...
