How do bacteria—whether harmless ones in our bodies or disease-causing strains—coordinate their activities? A recent study, ...

Engineered oncolytic bacteria have emerged as a promising therapeutic platform for precision cancer treatment, offering tumor-specific colonization, immune activation, and controllable therapeutic ...

To combat viruses, bacteria and other pathogens, synthetic biology offers new technological approaches whose performance is being validated in experiments. Researchers applied data integration and ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...

Engineered oncolytic bacteria have emerged as a promising therapeutic platform for precision cancer treatment, offering tumor-specific colonization, immune activation, and controllable therapeutic ...

Scientists are advancing a radical approach to cancer therapy by engineering bacteria capable of infiltrating tumours and breaking them down from within, exploiting the low-oxygen conditions at their ...
