Studies published in Nature Cancer reveal how bacterial presence in head and neck cancers affects treatment response, ...

A bacterial toxin called colibactin, produced by certain strains of E. coli, appears to alter gut DNA in a way that prompts colon cancer, researchers report in the journal Nature. Photo by ...

Increased consumption of ultraprocessed foods can impact children’s gut health and immunity, leaving them more susceptible to the bacteria. As rates of colorectal cancer soar in adults younger than 50 ...

Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

A recent study shows that bacteria living inside colorectal tumors form distinct ecosystems that are closely linked to how ...

Mapping the genomes of the bacteria responsible for yaws, a debilitating childhood disease, has uncovered new insights into ...

Cleveland Clinic researchers have discovered that bacteria inside cancerous tumors may be key to understanding why ...

Colon cancer is a particularly deadly form of cancer, and the incidence of the disease is rising, especially among younger people. Research has suggested that the composition of the gut microbiome, or ...

Microbiologists have long known that ancient, inactive viruses known as cryptic prophages can insert their genetic material into bacterial DNA. These genetic fragments allow bacteria to use ...

Who are the real mutants, and what’s going to cure them? Of course, we all are mutants – not just as the Homo sapiens sapiens limited-edition model from 4.5 billion years of mutation at Terrestrial ...
