Imaging technique tracks individual bacterial cells as they leave their biofilm community
An innovative imaging technique developed at Carnegie Mellon University reveals single bacterial cells leaving their biofilm community. Watching the bacteria in real-time at high resolution affords ...
Bacterial cells can “remember” brief, temporary changes to their bodies and immediate surroundings, a new Northwestern University and University of Texas-Southwestern study has found. And, although ...
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 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 ...

Bacteria Engineered to Eat Tumors From the Inside
"So, we are now colonizing that central space, and the bacterium is essentially ridding the body of the tumor." The post ...
Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...
