Image: Stalks increase the rate of nutrient uptake by efficiently increasing cell surface area. The finding has potential implications for both ecology and drug production Bloomington, Ind. — The ...

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 ...

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

A research team from POSTECH and ImmunoBiome in Korea, led by Professor Sin-Hyeog Im, has uncovered a new mechanism showing ...

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

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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