Finding
MSK researchers have shown for the first time that the concentration of different types of immune cells in the blood changes in relation to the presence of different bacterial strains in the gut.
Computational biologist Joao Xavier combines computer models and laboratory experimentation to understand how cells interact.
Several Memorial Sloan Kettering investigators are focused on the study of bacteria, which can teach us much about human health, and about cancer in particular.
Feature
Approaches used for research into the social lives of bacteria can also be used to explore how tumors behave and evolve.
Snapshot
Memorial Sloan Kettering researchers have discovered how a common bacterium can evolve to become more mobile and easier to get rid of.
Cell researcher Joao Xavier performed an experiment on a common species of bacteria to test the theory of evolution....
In the Lab
Infections are a common cause of complications in cancer patients. Now a Memorial Sloan Kettering research team finds that a commonly prescribed antibiotic could increase susceptibility to a bacterial infection.
