New study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

In a first-of-its-kind lab study, scientists prove that probiotic bacteria stimulate immediate and measurable changes in brain cell function, hinting at a new direct communication between your gut and ...

The research shows that antibiotic persistence is not a single biological phenomenon, but instead arises from two fundamentally different growth-arrest states, a discovery that helps resolve years of ...

Researchers have found that specific gut cells, BEST4/CA7+ cells, regulate electrolyte and water balance in response to bacterial toxins that cause diarrhea. Their findings show that these cells ...

Researchers report that phage resistance in ocean bacteria can alter growth, metabolism and sinking behavior, revealing a ...

University of Otago scientists are harnessing the power of peptides—the body's own tiny protein molecules—for a spray to help ...

Living bacteria embedded in silicone can absorb green LED light and re-emit it as red, offering a potential sustainable ...
