In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

A novel CRISPR-based technology can spread within bacterial populations to eliminate antibiotic resistance. In a potential breakthrough for tackling antibiotic resistance, researchers from the ...

The illustration shows how high trafficking of blood stem cells in the circulation early post-natally allows lentiviral-vector mediated in vivo gene transfer. “After birth, blood stem cells need to ...
