Gut bacteria aren’t just passive passengers—they can actively send proteins straight into our cells. Using microscopic injection systems, even harmless microbes can influence immune responses and ...

Vitamin D supplementation may help shape how the immune system responds to gut bacteria in people with inflammatory bowel ...

Trillions of microbes live in the human gastrointestinal tract, where they play critical roles in our health and biology; they can help us break down food, absorb nutrients; and they affect the immune ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led by researchers at Helmholtz Munich, with participation from Ludwig ...

As microbes invade the human body, phagocytic cells such as macrophages spring into action to clear the intruders. These cells extend arm-like projections and wrap them around the microbes before ...

According to a team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Tongji University and collaborating institutions, weaning ...

Researchers have revealed how a common bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), releases lactic acid to acidify its surroundings and suppress the immune-cell signal needed to start a proper ...

A Japanese-led research team has developed AUN, a groundbreaking immune-independent bacterial cancer therapy that uses two harmonized bacteria to destroy tumors even in patients with weakened immune ...
