"We discovered that bacteria all around us are using amyloids as a molecular suit of armor," said senior author Aaron ...

The Johns Hopkins investigators say bacteria have long been known to use CRISPR-Cas systems to chop up phage DNA, break it down and get rid of it. Crucially, CRISPR systems can only destroy DNA that ...

In 1872, Eadweard Muybridge captured a series of photos of a running horse. His images settled a debate about whether the animal ever lifted all four feet off the ground at once—it did. They also ...

Bacteria get invaded by viruses called phages. Scientists are studying how bacteria use CRISPR to defend themselves from phages, which will inform new phage-based treatments for bacterial ...

Now, this year alone, there will likely be about 4,000 papers published. The materials for using CRISPR have been shipped to 24,000 labs in 61 countries. It's like a mountain that we're climbing.

Certain bacteria have developed an immune response in which they retain a piece of DNA of an invading virus as a reminder, and then if that DNA is encountered again, the bacteria use CRISPR to ...

Scientists are using AI and genetic engineering to enhance plant immunity, offering a new defense against crop diseases.

Using this technology, we can access the biosynthetic potential of bacteria much faster and easier, as compared to existing methods." Chengzhang Fu, junior research group leader at HIPS and last ...
