Biologists converted gut bacteria into miniature protein factories that manufacture and release a sustained flow of targeted proteins inside the lower intestines. This technique solves one of the ...

“What the phages do is they get into the pore and look for that specific bacteria, and then they poke it and release genetic material into that bacteria and neutralize it,” he said. Neil ...

In an effort to learn more about astronaut health and the effects of space on the human body, NASA is conducting a new experiment aboard the International Space Station to speed up the detection of ...

Nylon is a common plastic, but it is difficult to recycle. A genetically modified bacterium is supposed to make it possible.

Phages are viruses that attack bacteria by injecting their DNA, then usurping bacterial machinery to reproduce. Eventually, they make so many copies of themselves that the bacteria burst.

Addressing one of the longstanding challenges in gastrointestinal drug delivery, Virginia Tech researchers have transformed gut bacteria into tiny protein factories. These engineered microbes ...

Recent research into bacterial cellulose patches may speed plants' recovery, improve grafting and help with preservation.

Using a mathematical model, an international team of researchers has been able to show that heterotrophic bacteria inside ...

Zachary Baker, a doctoral student in the Hsu Lab, engineered special phages that inject a little extra genetic material into the bacterial cell. In addition to making a flurry of new phages ...
