Vedanta Biosciences is a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a new category of microbiome-based oral therapies for gastrointestinal diseases. Vedanta's lead program, VE303, is ...

A breakthrough in microbiome research could change how colorectal cancer is detected—no colonoscopy required. Scientists used AI to map gut bacteria at an unprecedented level of detail, revealing ...

A key feature of this process is natural competence, the ability of bacteria to take up free DNA from their surroundings. V. cholerae becomes naturally competent when it grows on chitinous surfaces, a ...

Scientists explain how tiny gut bacteria influence your body’s health and why many animals on Earth are still waiting to be discovered.

Like most bacteria, Vibrio cholerae lives under constant attack from viruses. To survive, bacteria equip themselves with ...

The field of infectious disease immunology has increasingly focused on the dynamic interplay between host immune responses and sexually transmitted ...

EPFL researchers show that cholera bacteria can exchange protective genes, including antiviral immune systems, when they live in aquatic environments. The finding helps explain how these pathogens ...

A high-protein diet rich in casein and wheat gluten could "disarm" cholera bacteria, cutting infection levels by 100-fold, a ...

A research team led by scientists from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, has made significant ...

Plastic pollution is a global problem. It damages ecosystems, endangers animals, and in the form of nanoplastic particles, ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected way that certain bacteria manipulate plants from within. Plant-infecting bacteria have a surprisingly direct way of taking over crops. Instead of slowly ...
