Worldwide, more than 500,000 children under age 5 die each year from gastrointestinal bacterial infections, largely in ...

More than 280,000 people in Germany have multiple sclerosis (MS) and approximately 15,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.

The genome incorporation mechanism for LINE-1, the only autonomously active retrotransposon in humans, leverages the cell ...

Scientists have identified essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to 'displace' antibiotic resistance genes from bacteria.

Scientists built a model that allows them to diminish phage communities from a mouse gut microbiome -- and then bring them back -- without affecting the bacteria. On a test run of their model, ...

These cells grow and divide through a process called cell division. There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in somatic cells ...

Children who were still receiving breast milk had higher levels of Bifidobacterium, a genus of bacteria known to be associated with good gut health. "We also found that breastfeeding attenuated ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at quantum computing for image recognition, a gene therapy using a patient’s own skin cells, electricity-generating bacteria, using physics to ...
