Researchers tested a genetically engineered gut bacterium to try to limit kidney stones. But once inside some human ...

Researchers have genetically engineered gut microbes to absorb compounds that contribute to kidney stones – and to thrive in ...

The human gut microbiome has been shown to impact health in a myriad of ways. The type and abundance of different bacteria ...

Bacteriophages or "phages" are viruses that can infect and destroy bacteria. The natural enemy of bacteria, phages are ubiquitous on Earth -- found in soil and seawater -- and in our own guts.

The team's innovative strategy involves genetically modifying Escherichia coli bacteria to produce two main building blocks: polyhedrin monomer (PhM) and modified ferritin (Fr).

The mice with the modified microbes, however, were virtually tumor-free. As an added bonus, the scientists swabbed the control mice with the modified microbes, and their tumors began to recede.

The genetically modified HSV-1 evaluated in the study, RP1, is one of a relatively new, innovative class of cancer immunotherapy drugs known as oncolytic viruses that are designed to target and ...

Overcoming regulatory barriers and successfully using genetically engineered bacteria to combat plastic waste would be a monumental achievement, but for now, it is a work in progress.

Researchers have genetically engineered a marine microorganism to break down plastic in salt water. Specifically, the modified organism can break down polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a plastic ...

About 12 years ago, he retired. Silverbook picked up where Hillman left off: The genetically modified version of Streptococcus mutans is the basis of Lumina.

The researchers fed 12 rats a high-oxalate diet for four days, then treated half of them with the genetically modified bacteria and the other half with a strain that couldn’t break down oxalates ...
