Aspirin triggers BacID (turquoise) to express flagella (turquoise lines), invade into cancer cells (dotted outline) and deliver the therapy intracellularly (green). A University of Massachusetts ...

Early on in the research, the scientists discovered that it was the bacterial flagella – part of the cell that aids in movement – that enables the bacteria to invade cancer cells. So they engineered a ...

A University of Massachusetts Amherst-Ernest Pharmaceuticals team of scientists has made "exciting," patient-friendly advances in developing a non-toxic bacterial therapy, BacID, to deliver cancer ...

Bacterial flagella are essential structures that enable motility in many bacteria, allowing them to navigate their environments effectively. The flagellar motor is a complex nanomachine that ...

and bacterial products such as metabolites and flagellin induce host IL-22. In an article published in Cell Reports, Nagler’s team demonstrated that Clostridia-produced flagella and indole, a ...
