Researchers Unlock Potential to Use CRISPR to Alter the Microbiome
Researchers at Western University have developed a new way to deliver the DNA-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 into microorganisms in the lab, providing a way to efficiently launch a targeted attack on specific bacteria.
Stanford Scientists Uncover Genetic Similarities Among Species That Use Sound to Navigate
Insect-eating bats navigate effortlessly in the dark and dolphins and killer whales gobble up prey in murky waters thanks in part to specific changes in a set of 18 genes involved in the development of the cochlear ganglion — a group of nerves that transmit sound from the ear to the brain, according to a study by researchers at Stanford University.
Microbiome Provides New Clues to Determining Development of Colon Cancer
A mutant protein found in humans with colon cancer blocks a pathway that regulates proliferation and expansion of cells, increasing amounts of bacterial species associated with the development of colon cancer.
Artificial Gut Aims to Expose the Elusive Microbiome
The microbiome is a collection of trillions of bacteria that reside in and on our bodies.
Collagen Fibers Encourage Cell Streaming by Balancing Individual Aggression with Collective Cooperation
Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals, making up skin, bone, tendons and other soft tissues.
