Antibiotics usually save lives—but against some bacteria, they can make things worse. That’s the case with the Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli, where bacterial death releases a flood of a ...

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua Modell of ...

Karthik and her team aimed to use CRISPR as a way to identify and isolate a protein generated by the bacteria that cause Lyme ...

Arpita Bose and Zhecheng Zhang explore genetic tools in environmental microbes, citing applications in extracellular electron transfer ...

The cryogenic electron microscope structure of the A4p-activated (green) CalpL protein filament (violet) from Candidatus Cloacimonas acidaminovorans (PDB ID: 9EYJ). CRISPR-Cas systems help to protect ...

When scientists discovered how bacteria protect themselves against viral invaders, called phages, in the early 2000s, little did they know they’d stumbled upon a revolutionary tool researchers could ...

All around the world — in the oceans, the soil, your body — an invisible battle is raging. Earth’s vast population of roughly 10 30 bacteria faces an unending onslaught from an even larger army of ...

Ancilia is harnessing nature’s first immune system, known as CRISPR, to immunize beneficial bacteria against these viruses and increase their chances of therapeutic success. While best known for its ...

Bioengineering professor and The Grainger College of Engineering's Dean, Rashid Bashir, led a team of researchers in a project that's resulted in new technology that offers rapid, highly sensitive ...

CRISPR, the gene-editing technology which won its creators the 2020 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, is most well-known for its ...
