Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led ...

Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs.

Instead of killing bacteria, scientists found a way to gently guide gut microbes to produce compounds linked to longevity and healthier aging.

In recent years, scientists have begun to reveal the myriad ways that gut microbes can impact our health; they had identified ...

Are all bacterial cells in a group alike? It doesn't seem so. A population of bacterial cells may be heteroresistant, which is to say that some may be able to evade the effects of antibiotics, while ...

Scientists at LSU have patented a novel way to kill cancer cells using staph bacteria, sometimes called the “superbug.” ...

New CU Boulder research shows that bacteria harness physical laws to operate at the edge of chaos and use calcium to independently diversify and find a place to settle down Let’s talk about the ...

Have you ever been so hungry that you become angry, otherwise known as "hangry?" New research by Adam Rosenthal, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, has found ...
