Mars looks familiar in telescope images, but its thin air, deep cold and radiation soaked surface would kill an unprotected ...

In another, perhaps counterintuitive study, mice that had all their gut bacteria wiped out were protected from gaining as ...

An international research team has uncovered compelling evidence that gut-microbe-derived molecules may play an important ...

This microbe can survive doses of radiation that would obliterate any other living thing. Here’s what this means for science ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

Scientists trace an ancient microbe, Asgard archaea, that gave rise to humans, animals, and plants more than 2 billion years ...

The vast community of microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract–the gut microbiome, has many close links to human health..

In the mice with large-brain primate microbes, the researchers found increased expression of genes associated with energy ...

A new study reveals how gut bacteria may initiate ulcerative colitis by weakening immune defenses before inflammation occurs.

Figure 1: Proposed associations between mechanisms of pathogen virulence and resistance to microbe-mediated defence. We find that experimental co-evolution between a defensive microbe and a pathogen ...
