In another, perhaps counterintuitive study, mice that had all their gut bacteria wiped out were protected from gaining as ...

An international research team has uncovered compelling evidence that gut-microbe-derived molecules may play an important ...

This microbe can survive doses of radiation that would obliterate any other living thing. Here’s what this means for science ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

Cholera, a severe bacterial infection that causes diarrhea and kills if untreated, can be defeated with a diet high in ...

The vast community of microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract–the gut microbiome, has many close links to human health..

Scientists trace an ancient microbe, Asgard archaea, that gave rise to humans, animals, and plants more than 2 billion years ...

In the mice with large-brain primate microbes, the researchers found increased expression of genes associated with energy ...

A new study reveals how gut bacteria may initiate ulcerative colitis by weakening immune defenses before inflammation occurs.

Cramped in a small submarine 2,500 meters below the Pacific’s surface in 2006, microbiologist Hiroyuki Imachi scanned the ocean floor for signs of microbial life. As the sub drifted over the bottom of ...

Figure 1: Proposed associations between mechanisms of pathogen virulence and resistance to microbe-mediated defence. We find that experimental co-evolution between a defensive microbe and a pathogen ...
