Engineering the Microbiome: CRISPR Leads the Way
Mariella Bodemeier Loayza Careaga, PhD | Mar 15, 2024 | 10+ min read
Scientists have genetically modified isolated microbes for decades. Now, using CRISPR, they intend to target entire microbiomes.
Researchers in George Church&rsquo;s lab modified wild type ADK proteins (left) in <em >E.coli</em>, furnishing them with an nonstandard amino acid (nsAA) meant to biocontain the resulting bacterial strain.

Nanotech Dreams
Jeffrey Perkel | Mar 3, 2002 | 9 min read
Nanotechnology hit the big time in July 1995, when it debuted on the television show, The Outer Limits. In an episode entitled "The New Breed," a scientist develops nanorobots capable of repairing damaged cells and correcting physical defects. But, like any good morality play, the experiment goes horribly wrong, turning a panacea into a nightmare. Clearly, nanotechnology makes for good science fiction, but scientists have been working to make it an interesting reality, too. Nanotechnology refers

LOV story Even nonphotosynthetic bacteria respond to light in surprising ways. Have scientists found a new ubiquitous signaling mechanism? By Alla Katsnelson Original image: © Yves Brun / artistically modified by The Scientist aulobacter crescentus isn't much to look at. When you peek through a microscope at 630-times magnification, the freshwater bacteria appear as a swarm of little gray, kidney-shaped creatures fli
