p53 is possibly the most important protein for maintaining cellular function. Losing it is synonymous with cancer.

The common fluorescent marker GFP traveled a long road to take its popular place in molecular biology today.

Researchers developed a “test tube” so tiny that it can hold a single cell. These vials enabled them to connect protein secretion levels with surface markers and transcriptome data from the same cell. 

Immune defense genes in bacteria and archaea can identify viral proteins, a study finds, revealing similarities between the immune systems of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

Bioengineered bacteria sneak past solid tumor defenses to guide CAR T cells’ attacks.

Scientists have genetically modified isolated microbes for decades. Now, using CRISPR, they intend to target entire microbiomes.

Vaccination has beaten back infections for more than a century. Now, it may be the next big step in battling cancer.

SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers structural changes in the host cell’s DNA, which provide a molecular explanation for long COVID, a new study suggests. 

Self-contained synthetic E. coli resistant to viral infection could prove invaluable to the biotechnology industry by increasing product consistency and reducing safety concerns. 

Sequences for the model organism and two of its kin reveal how these plants got their oversized genomes.
