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 ...

Type VI secretion systems (T6SS) are sophisticated nanomachines that bacteria employ to inject effector proteins directly into neighbouring cells. These systems are structurally reminiscent of ...

Researchers from Umeå University, Sweden, and Cornell University, U.S., have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria that enhances the bacteria's defense against environmental threats. The ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that bacteria can drive stem cell regeneration to repair the intestinal lining after injury—uncovering an unexpected way in which the gut ...
