A drug to treat Parkinson's disease can be made from waste plastic bottles using a pioneering method, a study shows. The approach harnesses the power of bacteria to transform post-consumer plastic ...

Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates itself under enormous pressure and yet only grows longer, never adding width.

For the first time, researchers have developed a new method to transform common plastic ...

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

A new study from Emory University explains the gut-brain connection, indicating that live bacteria from the gut can directly ...

Scientists have discovered how to turn used plastic bottles into a drug to treat Parkinson’s disease. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh genetically engineered bacteria to break down waste ...

As part of Technology Networks' continued celebration of the achievements of inspiring women in STEMM, we caught up with Prof. Heather Pinkett to learn more about her research into bacterial pathogens ...

Scientists engineer E. coli to convert PET plastic bottle waste into L-DOPA, a primary treatment for Parkinson’s disease.

A high-fat diet may allow gut bacteria to reach the brain through a direct nerve pathway, revealing a new gut–brain link.

Scientists have experimented with bacteria as potential cancer therapy for a while now — some introduced to trigger an immune ...

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, ...
