Scientists at University of Edinburgh engineered bacteria to convert plastic bottles into L-DOPA, a Parkinson's medication, offering breakthrough solution.

Get out the hand sanitizer! You'll want to carry extra when you learn about this gross part of an airplane—and we use it every time we fly.

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.

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 ...

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

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.

The discovery could also lend itself to the development of future antibacterial therapies. In the battle against infectious ...

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

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, ...

The approach harnesses the power of bacteria to transform post-consumer plastic into L-DOPA, a frontline medication for the ...

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

Scientists are developing cancer-eating bacteria designed to grow inside oxygen-free tumors and attack cancer from within.
