SNIPE defense lets bacteria destroy phage DNA at the cell membrane
A single protein bolted to the inner membrane of a bacterial cell can shred a virus’s DNA before that genetic material ever reaches the interior. That is the central finding behind SNIPE, a newly ...
The microbial arms race, in which bacteria battle with each other, viruses, and other organisms for space and nutrients, has ...

As antibiotic resistance accelerates, ESKAPE pathogens reveal how hospital superbugs survive treatment, spread across ...
Rodolphe Barrangou, PhD, is the T. R. Klaenhammer Distinguished Professor at North Carolina State University, where he leads the CRISPR Lab. Rodolphe spent nine years at Danisco and DuPont, where he ...
CRISPR Therapeutics is still losing money, but it has an expanding pipeline. The biotech is seeing growing sales from its one product, Casgevy. It also has other promising drug candidates in its ...
A research team has discovered an enhanced CRISPR gene-editing system that could enable targeted delivery inside the human body—a key step toward broader clinical use. Researchers identified a ...
Bacteriophages, also known as phages, are viruses that specifically infect bacteria and destroy host cells through lysis after their replication. Because they do not infect human cells, they are a ...
