Lab-made ‘mirror bacteria’ could endanger all life on earth, scientists warn - Synthetic microbes can cause pervasive ...

Tree frog gut bacteria eliminated 100% of colorectal tumors in mice, but human cancer treatment faces safety hurdles and ...

A large study shows how everyday food choices shape gut bacteria linked to weight, blood sugar, and overall health.

To meet the ambitious goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, the U.S. is going to have to get creative with renewable energy. We can double down on long-established technologies like wind, geothermal, ...

The Lab Report: Every week, the Lab Report takes a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. When a population of bacteria is large enough, individual ...

What if there were a way to make proteins, enzymes and reagents right in the lab, in small amounts, on demand? Microscopic images of E.coli bacteria. Image courtesy of the Center for Disease Control.

Scientists have developed a new test that can easily and quickly identify bacteria in any liquid, such as water, milk, or urine. This test uses a type of virus that only insects bacterial cells, ...

The tool's positive predictive value for invasive bacterial infections was 6.9% (95% CI 4.8%-9.9%). Its negative predictive value (NPV) reached 99.4% (95% CI 98.1%-99.8%), translating to a 0.6% chance ...
