Among the many trillions of microorganisms in the human gut is Blautia luti. Like many gut bacteria, it metabolizes ...

Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the ...

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that constantly “sense” their surroundings to survive and thrive. New research shows that beneficial gut microbes, especially common Clostridia bacteria, can ...

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

Compared to other large primates, humans have unusually big brains. Now, scientists have suggested that the large size of our brains may have been influenced by the gut microbiome. The microbes in the ...

Researchers are continually looking for new ways to hack the cellular machinery of microbes like yeast and bacteria to make ...

Brain tissue is among the most energetically costly in the body, and as a result, larger-brained mammals require more energy to support brain growth and maintenance. Exactly which biological changes ...

Researchers in the Raman Lab at UW recently published a study discussing sending microbes into space at the International Space Station to evaluate how mutations induced by microgravity may impact ...
