Study title: Nonpathogenic E. coli displaying decoy-resistant IL18 demonstrate potent anti-tumor responses and boost CAR-NK cell therapy Significance: Immunotherapeutic approaches have substantially ...

When harmful bacteria that cause food poisoning, such as E. coli, invade through the digestive tract, gut cells usually fight back by pushing infected cells out of the body to stop the infection from ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

The team also observed a weak spot, less than 100 nm in diameter, in a dividing E. coli cell that ruptured, causing cell depressurization and death. Interestingly, the bursting cell caused ...
