Gut bacteria may trigger ALS by producing toxic sugars that spark an immune attack on the brain
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has long been treated as a disease of the brain and spinal cord. A study published in May 2026 ...
Millions of tons of plastic waste accumulate in landfills and oceans every year. One promising response is to engineer ...
Legumes like soybeans, alfalfa, peas, beans, peanuts and many more have a remarkable ability: They can partner with soil ...
The human gut harbors a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms (the microbiome), which influences digestion, the ...
In 1933, geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for demonstrating that genes exist on chromosomes, which are passed down from parent to offspring. Ninety-one years ...
A 'loopy' discovery in bacteria is raising fundamental questions about the makeup of our own genome -- and revealing a potential wellspring of material for new genetic therapies. A "loopy" discovery ...
Bacterial gene regulation is a finely tuned process essential for cellular adaptation and survival. Central to this regulation are nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs), which not only compact the ...
Given the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, novel ways to target bacterial infections are becoming increasingly important. One potential strategy is to manipulate bacterial genes at the ...
The cartoon illustrates how single-cell transcriptomics works: all mRNA molecules are recorded and characterized from countless bacterial cells, which are shown here in survival size on a conveyor ...
