In a first-of-its-kind lab study, scientists prove that probiotic bacteria stimulate immediate and measurable changes in brain cell function, hinting at a new direct communication between your gut and ...

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 ...

Why dead bacteria are the secret to a happier gut - Postbiotics are stealing the spotlight for their ability to support ...

New study shows how bacteria adapted a virus-derived injection system to recognize and attach to many different types of ...

T-shirts that warn of excessive sun exposure or labels that reveal damage to light sensitive materials: researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a coating that makes this ...

The enzyme Na⁺-NQR is a sodium pump that drives the respiration of many marine and pathogenic bacteria. Using redox reactions ...

Researchers have found that specific gut cells, BEST4/CA7+ cells, regulate electrolyte and water balance in response to bacterial toxins that cause diarrhea. Their findings show that these cells ...

Researchers found that butyrate, a microbial metabolite, enhances T-cell activity, thereby boosting IgA antibody production. This pathway may be key in enhancing mucosal vaccine responses and offers a ...

University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...

In a huge global study led by University of Cambridge researchers, a single group of bacteria—named CAG-170—has repeatedly ...
