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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The emergence of advanced genome editing technologies has revolutionized research in life sciences, offering an unprecedented ...
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 ...
The emergence of advanced genome editing technologies has revolutionized research in life sciences, offering an unprecedented way to uncover unknown ...
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 ...
A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly developed form of CRISPR at UNSW Sydney points to a safer way of treating ...
Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." Scientists ...
