The Salk Institute researcher was one of the first to show that killing a pathogen isn’t the only way to survive an infection.

Specialized exosomes sop up bacterial toxins, a study finds.

Researchers are engineering microbes to deliver therapeutics specifically to tumors, maximizing the treatments’ efficacy while minimizing side effects.

Autonomous, living microrobots that seek and destroy cancer are not as futuristic as one might imagine, thanks to a fusion of robotics and synthetic biology.

Researchers could one day use the method to deliver antibiotics to topical wounds infected by hard-to-treat masses of bacteria.

Trained canines are remarkably accurate at detecting a pathogen that has devastated citrus crops.

Using reverse genetics, researchers create antibodies to reel in previously uncultured bacteria.

A newly identified group of viruses may help suppress eukaryotes’ immune response and promote tolerance of endosymbiotic bacteria.

Researchers suggest the viruses can help endosymbiotic bacteria get along with their hosts.
