Humans are colonized with thousands of bacterial strains. Researchers are now focused on genetically modifying such bacteria like E. Coli to enhance their intrinsic therapeutic properties. One goal is to develop smart microbes that release therapeutic payloads at sites of disease, thus maintaining therapeutic efficacy while limiting many of the side effects that can be associated with the systemic administration of conventional drugs. Investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a founding member of Mass General Brigham (MGB), have engineered a strain of the probiotic Escherichia coli (E. coli), Nissle 1917, to secrete proteins of therapeutic value into its surroundings. When engineered to…

New study demonstrates that the most endangered turtles and crocodiles are those that have evolved unique life strategies.

Unique species faced additional pressure from local consumption, diseases, and pollution. New research led by the University of Oxford has revealed that the most endangered turtle and crocodiles are those that are most unique. Their loss could have widespread impacts on the ecosystems they live in,…
