Scientists are trying to understand how complex life emerged on Earth about 2 billion years ago. Our microbial ancestors could be the key.
Microbial bioelectronic sensors use living bacteria that can create an electrical signal in response to the presence of a ...
Live bacteria from the digestive system can travel directly into the brain when the intestinal barrier is weakened. This ...
Certain types of microbes found in the human gut can absorb toxic “forever chemicals” from their surroundings, a study has found. When scientists introduced the microbes into the guts of mice to ...
The "hygiene hypothesis" suggests exposure to diverse types of microbes may protect against developing diseases caused by allergens, but a new study in mice reveals that adults' exposure to diverse ...
Every animal carries a microscopic community of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes that play a critical role in health. These gut microbes help regulate the immune system, support digestion, and even ...
