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

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

Digging into how and why some genes are resurrected after death sounds morbid, but it has practical applications. 

An open mind and collaborative spirit have taken Hans Clevers on a journey from medicine to developmental biology, gastroenterology, cancer, and stem cells.

Bacteria in the gut influence the production of antibodies and themselves secrete metabolites. In a pregnant woman, these compounds may influence immune development of her fetus.

Clostridium difficile is evolving more robust toxicity, repeatedly attacking its victims, and driving the search for alternative therapies to fight the infection.

Bacteria that live in the digestive tracts of animals may influence the adaptive trajectories of their hosts.

Four studies identify alternative origins for cells of the developing lymphatic system, challenging the long-standing view that they all come from veins.

Viruses abound in the world’s oceans, yet researchers are only beginning to understand how they affect life and chemistry from the water’s surface to the sea floor.

The COVID-19 pandemic is still with us. Biomedical innovation has rallied to address that pressing concern while continuing to tackle broader research challenges.
