The particular bacterium, which appears to shield tumor cells from cancer-fighting drugs, was found in 50% of the tumors tested in the study, according to NBC News. The discovery, experts say, could ...

Researchers developed a technique that attaches a cancer-killing toxin to modified bacteria capable of entering tumor cells. Once inside, the toxin is released to destroy the cancer cell, ...

It’s long been thought that only an unusual type of kidney stone has any connection to bacteria, and that the vast majority of kidney stones, which are caused by calcium oxalate crystals, don’t host ...

Baylor University researchers have published a novel approach to fight colorectal cancer, using modified bacteria as a courier to deliver potent cancer-killing proteins into tumor cells. Michael S.

Live bacteria from the digestive system can travel directly into the brain when the intestinal barrier is weakened. This ...

The gut microbiome—the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract—drives a process vital for protecting the colon against tissue injury, according to the findings ...

Researchers have found that specific gut cells, BEST4/CA7+ cells, regulate electrolyte and water balance in response to bacterial toxins that cause diarrhea. Their findings show that these cells ...

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs. Their findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, describe how ...
