Harnessing bacteriophages’ natural prowess, scientists crafted an antibacterial material for use in medicine and the food industry.
A vaccine to prevent melioidosis, a tropical bacterial disease and possible bioterrorism threat, succeeded in initial trials.
The new protocol identified microbes that standard techniques alone couldn’t, uncovering previously unknown bacterial strains in the process.
Molecules isolated from a rare cyanobacteria found in Japan found to have UV-absorbing, antioxidant, and anti-aging properties.
Magnetic hydrogel micromachines break up biofilms and release antibiotics, combating biofilm infections associated with medical devices.
Bacteria residing inside tumors provide a surprisingly powerful immunotherapy platform to combat different cancers.
Inspired by brain-invading bacteria, researchers have created nanocapsules that covertly shuttle drugs across the blood–brain barrier.
Incorporating polymer skeletons inside bacteria stops them from replicating and results in cyborg cells that are half living, half artificial.
An extensive database will help scientists better understand the link between our gut microbiota and depression to inform new, tailored therapies.
Implants containing cyanobacteria help produce oxygen within heart tissue to repair damage done after a heart attack.
