A new technique developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) will make it much easier for researchers to discover the traits or activities encoded by genes of unknown function in microbes, a key step […]
Bifidobacterium infantis M-63 is a unique probiotic strain of human-residential bifidobacteria (HRB) – bifidobacteria that naturally reside in the human gut – and is renowned for its ability to utilize human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) found […]
Researchers from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a probiotic-based therapeutic that synergistically restores intestinal redox and microbiota homeostasis. This therapeutic effectively relieved inflammation and reduced colonic […]
The average human gut contains roughly 100 trillion microbes, many of which are constantly competing for limited resources. “It’s such a harsh environment,” says César de la Fuente, Presidential Assistant Professor in Bioengineering and in Chemical […]
Three patent claims, one present in each of three US patents held by the Finch Therapeutics Group Inc. (Finch), have been found to have been infringed by Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s (Ferring) activities in the US […]
Choosing the right CDMO partner is one of the hardest steps a CEO must undertake when embarking on their drug development journey. The CEO must consider the quality, experience, and cost of a prospective partner, […]
Curious bits of DNA tucked inside genomes across all kingdoms of life historically have been disregarded since they don’t seem to have a role to play in the competition for survival. Or so researchers thought. […]
Ancilia Biosciences, Inc., (Ancilia Bio), a biotechnology company harnessing the natural power of CRISPR to create bacterial therapies and products with immunity against destructive viruses, today announced the closing of a $4.2 million financing. The […]
Eligo Bioscience, a pioneering gene-editing company focused on addressing diseases driven by the expression of bacterial genes from the microbiome, publishes a landmark study in Nature that unlocks Genome Editing of Bacteria in the Gut. […]
Scientists at University of California San Diego have discovered another factor that affects the composition of the gut microbiome: time of day. In fact, the scientists have found that time of day is such an […]
Microbes that are used for health, agricultural, or other applications need to be able to withstand extreme conditions, and ideally the manufacturing processes used to make tablets for long-term storage. MIT researchers have now developed […]
