Bacterial Retrons: The Strange Self-Destruct Defense
This episode explains how scientists discovered an unusual bacterial defense system known as type six retrons that works backward to fight viral infections. We explore how this complex self-destruct mechanism could inform future gene-editing technologies and disease treatments. #BacterialImmunity #Retrons #GeneEditing #MolecularBiology
