Most bacteria, including many bacterial pathogens, are surrounded by an outer protective layer of sugar molecules, known as a ...
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 digestion and immunity, says Louise Pyne ...
Two related studies from the University of California, Riverside, have reported that reduced activity of the PTPN2 gene ...
University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...
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 ...
The enzyme Na⁺-NQR is a sodium pump that drives the respiration of many marine and pathogenic bacteria. Using redox reactions ...
Allan Albig receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside ...
A hydrogel made from crustacean shells lets common food bacteria generate electrical signals 15 times more efficiently, ...
