For several years now, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene scissors have been causing a sensation in science and medicine. This new tool of molecular biology has its origins in an ancient bacterial immune system. It ...

A microscopic discovery will not only enable scientists to understand the microbial world around us but could also provide a new way to control CRISPR-Cas biotechnologies. A microscopic discovery will ...

Immune system becomes data logger The data logger function was developed over the past few years by researchers led by Randall Platt, Professor of Biological Engineering at ETH Zurich. To do this, ...

The CRISPR systems inside bacteria serve as adaptive immune systems, but they also threaten to unleash autoimmune reactions. Fortunately, for bacteria such as Streptococcus pyogenes, these systems ...

Just like humans, bacteria can be attacked by infectious pathogens, and they also have immune defense systems. One of those bacterial immune defense mechanisms, CRISPR, was recently appropriated by ...

Biotech startup Ancilia Biosciences has raised $4.2 million to use the well-known gene editing tool CRISPR to develop bacterial therapeutics, the firm said Wednesday. The Washington Heights-based ...

An unexpected find has enabled important progress to be made in the battle against harmful bacteria. An international team of researchers, led by Professor Peter Fineran from the University of Otago, ...

One of the most revolutionary discoveries of the century, the CRISPR gene-editing system is built on a bacterial defense mechanism that allows scientists to make precise edits to DNA. Now scientists ...

Our gut is home to countless bacteria, which help us to digest food. But what exactly do the microorganisms do inside the body? Which enzymes do they produce, and when? And how do the bacteria ...
