Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...

How do bacteria - harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease - organize their activities? A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, ...

Researchers isolated a phage of the Microviridae family from human feces, representing the smallest phage infecting the gut ...

Researchers turned programmable proteins into a novel genetic tool, potentially enabling tighter control of gene expression. LacI is a tetrameric protein, using two dimers to bind two specific, ...

Researchers have developed a synthetic biological strategy to enable Clostridium sporogenes to thrive in the low oxygen ...

Scientists studying thousands of rats discovered that gut bacteria are shaped by both personal genetics and the genetics of social partners. Some genes promote certain microbes that can spread between ...

Exercise is known to improve mood and memory, but the biological pathways connecting physical activity to brain function remain not entirely understood. In a new study published in Brain Medicine, ...
