The non-descript, pill-shaped cell is why we understand fundamental life processes (think DNA replication and transcription).

The intestinal epithelium is a highly dynamic barrier that regulates digestion, absorption, immune responses, and ...

Biologists converted gut bacteria into miniature protein factories that manufacture and release a sustained flow of targeted proteins inside the lower intestines. This technique solves one of the ...

Researchers have discovered that naturally occurring gut microbes produce indoles—compounds that play a key role in ...

Their discovery showed that even tucked away in our innards – in the walls of our stomachs, subjected to vinegar-like pH ...

The expression of insect PGRPs is often upregulated by exposure to bacteria. Insect PGRPs are mainly inducers of proteolytic and signalling cascades. Each PGRP domain has one peptidoglycan-binding ...

Discover the importance of antibiotics, bacterial cell walls, and resistance mechanisms in fighting bacterial infections effectively.

Officials identify bacterial contamination in an area's well water as investigations continue into the GBS cluster, with Campylobacter jejuni identified as a potential cause. PUNE: On Saturday ...

Findings from the Indian Council of Medical Research–National Institute of Virology (ICMR-NIV) have identified two significant culprits: norovirus and Campylobacter jejuni bacteria. Norovirus is ...

In the quest to take the “forever” out of “forever chemicals,” bacteria might be our ally. Most remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) involves adsorbing and trapping them, but ...

He ruled out viral or bacterial infections, adding, “If there is any mischief, we will know about it.” Cadmium, a highly toxic metal, can contaminate the human body through polluted air ...
