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

Researchers have connected KRAS mutations in colorectal cancer to microbial signatures in the gut. For about 40% of people diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC), the tumor carries a mutation in a ...

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

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

Our immune systems can often eliminate bacterial infections, but sometimes those bacteria are very tough and persistent, and they establish more long-term, chronic infections. Researchers have now ...

Queensland researchers have discovered that a mutation allows some E. coli bacteria to cause severe disease in people while other bacteria are harmless, a finding that could help to combat antibiotic ...

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 ...

In the 1940s, the famous Luria–Delbrück experiment showed that bacteria evolve resistance to drugs they'd never encountered thanks to a random mutational process. When you purchase through links on ...
