A new study reveals how bacteria in the gut can help determine whether the amino acid asparagine from the diet will feed ...

Instead of killing bacteria, scientists found a way to gently guide gut microbes to produce compounds linked to longevity and healthier aging.

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led ...

New research shows that gut bacteria and metabolites may reveal early warning signs of multiple gastrointestinal diseases. Scientists have uncovered biological signals in the gut that may make it ...

New microbiome data show that intestinal bacteria can generate clinically relevant alcohol levels, validating a rare syndrome ...

Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the ...

Study shows gut microbes control whether dietary asparagine feeds tumors or boosts CD8+ T cells. By breaking down the amino acid in the intestine, specific bacteria reshape the tumor environment and ...

In recent years, scientists have begun to reveal the myriad ways that gut microbes can impact our health; they had identified ...

University of British Columbia researchers have engineered gut bacteria that dim their fluorescent glow in the presence of ...

Metabolites in mouse and human breath correlate to gut-microbe populations and might be helpful in diagnosing disease.

Chronic stress can damage the gut’s protective lining, triggering inflammation that may worsen depression. New research shows that stress lowers levels of a protein called Reelin, which plays a key ...

Normally, PTPN2 helps maintain gut health by controlling inflammation and supporting a balanced gut microbiome. However, some ...
