A self-powered, three-component biosensor capable of killing bacteria in water samples has been developed by materials ...

The capacitive biosensor achieves rapid detection of H5N1 and E. coli, streamlining pathogen monitoring and enhancing ...

Scientists in South Korea have engineered tiny bacterial cells that are churning out plastic. The plastics produced by the modified Escherichia coli ( E. coli) bacteria are known as polyester amides ...

Genetic switches could play a role in creating complex eukaryotic genetic circuits for programmed cell-free systems or artificial cells.

Food safety crisis looms as FDA tightens lips on ongoing outbreaks and two key committees are disbanded. Experts warn of contaminated food in your fridge.

Biology might ultimately provide a solution, however. Researchers have identified bacteria that evolved the ability to digest ...

A low-carb diet can worsen the cancer-causing effects of certain gut bacteria by weakening the gut barrier and altering the ...

Harmful microorganisms such as bacteria represent one of the largest threats to human health. Efficient sterilization methods ...

A new study from the University of Toronto has found that a low-carbohydrate diet may increase the risk of colorectal cancer ...

The low carb diet thinned the mucus layer in the colon that protects against microbes. In the mice with E. coli, this allowed colibactin to reach colon cells. Colibactin is a genotixin – it damages ...
