Researchers developed a technique that attaches a cancer-killing toxin to modified bacteria capable of entering tumor cells. Once inside, the toxin is released to destroy the cancer cell, ...

The particular bacterium, which appears to shield tumor cells from cancer-fighting drugs, was found in 50% of the tumors tested in the study, according to NBC News. The discovery, experts say, could ...

"So, we are now colonizing that central space, and the bacterium is essentially ridding the body of the tumor." The post ...

Baylor University researchers have published a novel approach to fight colorectal cancer, using modified bacteria as a courier to deliver potent cancer-killing proteins into tumor cells. Michael S.

The gut microbiome—the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract—drives a process vital for protecting the colon against tissue injury, according to the findings ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

Researchers have found that specific gut cells, BEST4/CA7+ cells, regulate electrolyte and water balance in response to bacterial toxins that cause diarrhea. Their findings show that these cells ...

Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...
