Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have developed an anti-cancer therapy inspired by bacteria found in cancer tumors. When tested in combination with radiation in animal models of ...

Two-component systems (TCSs) represent the predominant signal transduction mechanism by which bacteria sense and respond to environmental stimuli. At their core, a membrane-bound sensor histidine ...

Bacterial chemotaxis signal transduction systems enable motile bacteria to navigate chemical gradients in their environments, directing movement towards attractants and away from repellents. Core ...

A newly developed therapy inspired by bacteria residing within tumors offers a different way to combat cancer by targeting how tumor cells produce energy.

A new therapy inspired by bacteria inside tumors cuts off cancer’s energy supply while largely leaving healthy cells ...

Engineered oncolytic bacteria have emerged as a promising therapeutic platform for precision cancer treatment, offering tumor-specific colonization, immune activation, and controllable therapeutic ...

Bacteria employ complex signaling networks for adaptive gene control in changing environments. Bacterial second messenger molecules such as cyclic AMP (cAMP) relay external environmental signals into ...
