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

Microbes move across the planet, linking ecosystems and spreading genes that shape antibiotic resistance, health, and ...

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that constantly “sense” their surroundings to survive and thrive. New research shows that beneficial gut microbes, especially common Clostridia bacteria, can ...

Among the many trillions of microorganisms in the human gut is Blautia luti. Like many gut bacteria, it metabolizes ...

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

MSU researchers discovered that microbes begin shaping the brain while still in the womb, influencing neurons in a region critical for stress and social behavior. Their findings suggest modern birth ...

A bacterium living quietly in the intestines of a tiny tree frog has done something cancer researchers spend careers chasing: it wiped out established tumors in mice with a single treatment. The ...

Amyloids are perhaps best known as a key driver of Alzheimer's disease. The amorphous proteins, found throughout the human body, stick to nerve cells like plaque, choking off their function and ...

Scientists describe molecules like DNA or the amino acids that build proteins as being left-handed or right-handed in their configurations. In humans, the left hand and the right hand are mirror ...
