Researchers headed by a team at East China University of Science and Technology have developed a bacterial biosensor composed of tiny hydrogel-based microspheres packed with blood-sensing bacteria ...

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 20 (UPI) --Chinese researchers say a new kind of bacteria-packed pill can quickly detect gastrointestinal disease and has the potential to replace invasive colonoscopies in ...

Scientists have long known that bacteria come in many shapes and sizes, but understanding what those differences mean has ...

Microspheres that sense gastrointestinal disease are suspended in solution (left), then attracted to the side of a test tube by a magnet (right) so researchers can easily retrieve them from biological ...

Bacteria "pills" that can detect gut diseases could spell the end of painful colonoscopies, scientists say. Chinese researchers have developed a new sensor made of tiny microspheres packed with ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

A toxin produced by bacteria found in dirty water kills off immune cells in the lining of the colon, meaning people whose guts are colonised by these bacteria are much more likely to develop a ...
