Researchers have uncovered how a disease-causing bacterium uses a single protein to interfere with the body's defenses in more than one way, offering a clearer picture of how infections take hold at ...
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 ...
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 ...
A common bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis, can suppress the body’s early warning system in wounds, causing infections to persist and create an environment that allows other bacteria to take hold A ...
A special group of immune cells known as regulatory T cells, or Tregs for short, became an overnight sensation when a trio of U.S. and Japanese scientists won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine ...
Vitamin D supplementation may help shape how the immune system responds to gut bacteria in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), according to a Mayo Clinic–led study published in Cell Reports ...
Homes have their own microbiomes made up of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes, and more diversity is actually better for ...
A team has uncovered how a common bacterial pathogen uses a single protein to quietly undermine the human immune system, by both shutting down key warning signals and blocking the cell’s ability to ...
