In a nutshell Fermented cabbage, but not raw cabbage or brine, protected intestinal cells from inflammation-related damage in lab tests, suggesting unique gut health benefits created during ...

Research on the gut microbiome has focused mainly on bacteria, but bacteriophages and fungi play critical roles as well, with significant influences on health and disease.

In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists has captured the first live images. In a groundbreaking study, researchers ...

Scientists have transformed RNA, a biological molecule present in all living cells, into a biosensor that can detect tiny chemicals relevant to human health. Research by scientists centers on RNA, a ...

Bacteriophages, the viruses that prey on bacteria, are the most abundant biological entities on earth, shaping the ...

A chemical radar allows bacteria to sense and eliminate predators. Investigating how microorganisms communicate deepens our ...

Could it be that one of only three known markers directly targeting the DNA does not exist outside the realm of microbes? Now, researchers have demonstrated that this marker -- N4-methylcytosine (4mC) ...

Ryan Hunter, PhD, associate professor of microbiology and immunology, recently created a device to study anaerobic bacteria alongside oxygenated cells, simulating microenvironments within the body.

Researchers discovered that saccharin kills drug-resistant bacteria, disrupts their DNA, and helps antibiotics work better.

Gut microbiota composition and sex hormones influence the immune response to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus gastrointestinal colonization in mice.

Bacteria used oxygen far earlier than expected, reshaping views on early life, evolution, and photosynthesis origins.

Bacteria consist of a single cell. They do not have bones and are not like big animals ... We started by training an ...
