Feb. 11, 2025 — Biomedical engineers have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy ...

In this illustration, we show how the change in population dynamic of gut microbes suppresses or drives multiple sclerosis. The increase in proinflammatory bacteria induces differentiation of Th1/Th17 ...

Periodontal disease is classically characterized by progressive destruction of the soft and hard tissues of the periodontal complex, mediated by an interplay between dysbiotic microbial communities ...

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 ...

Feb. 13, 2025 — A research team has shown that methanogens, micro-organisms ubiquitous in low-oxygen environments like aquifers, soil and even permafrost, can propel their growth by dissolving ...

Fungi, especially filamentous fungi, are a relatively understudied ... nonredundant reference sequences is 398 for fungi compared with 37,232 for bacteria. (16) Improving the state of public fungal ...

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 ...

Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, archaea, fungi and protozoa. This discipline includes fundamental research on the biochemistry, physiology ...

Evolution of all complex life forms has occurred in associations with bacteria, the first forms of life on earth. The human body carries representatives of all branches of the tree of life ...

Tests on the "mysterious balls" which led to the closure of several Australian beaches last week have revealed they were made up partially of faecal bacteria. Nine beaches in Sydney were closed by ...
