Feb. 6, 2025 — The researchers showed that when curcumin is intentionally given to bacteria as food and then activated by light, it can trigger deleterious reactions within these microbes ...

Tests on the "mysterious balls" which led to the closure of several Australian beaches last week have revealed they were made up partially of faecal bacteria. Nine beaches in Sydney were closed by ...

The vaginal flora is the bacteria that live inside the vagina. The normal vaginal flora is dominated by various lactobacillus species. Lactobacilli help to keep the vagina healthy by producing lactic ...

This discovery could also have implications in studies of polymer-secreting conglomerations of bacteria known as biofilms—the slippery goo on river rocks, for example—and in industrial ...

"So how do you hit multiple targets in the same go?" For their approach, Chen and his colleagues used a gene editing molecule called Cas13, which targets and degrades RNA. (Its more widely ...

“For example, the most well-known of these immunotherapies only benefits 20 to 30% of patients.” When they delivered the Cas13 package into tumor microenvironments in mice, they found that it silenced ...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo say they've made a breakthrough in introducing a new trait into bacteria found in wastewater, giving them the ability to break down microplastics.
