A recent study shows that bacteria living inside colorectal tumors form distinct ecosystems that are closely linked to how ...

Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

Researchers have connected KRAS mutations in colorectal cancer to microbial signatures in the gut. For about 40% of people diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC), the tumor carries a mutation in a ...

Our immune systems can often eliminate bacterial infections, but sometimes those bacteria are very tough and persistent, and they establish more long-term, chronic infections. Researchers have now ...

Queensland researchers have discovered that a mutation allows some E. coli bacteria to cause severe disease in people while other bacteria are harmless, a finding that could help to combat antibiotic ...

Increased consumption of ultraprocessed foods can impact children’s gut health and immunity, leaving them more susceptible to the bacteria. As rates of colorectal cancer soar in adults younger than 50 ...

In the 1940s, the famous Luria–Delbrück experiment showed that bacteria evolve resistance to drugs they'd never encountered thanks to a random mutational process. When you purchase through links on ...

Researchers report that phage resistance in ocean bacteria can alter growth, metabolism and sinking behavior, revealing a previously underappreciated link between viral pressure and marine carbon ...
