The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a vast network of nerves built into the walls of the intestine. While it is well known for its role in regulating digestion and the movement of food through the ...
Caltech researchers have reintroduced a classic technique to image the formation and growth of individual cells that make up biofilms, sticky masses of millions of cells that are often responsible for ...
The bacterium known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an unwelcome visitor in the human body. Serious infections can result when a bunch of these bugs settle together on a surface to form a biofilm—a ...
A Jacobs School researcher is focused on learning more about how tight junctions form naturally — and how their breakdown can lead to disease.
New discoveries about the malaria parasite made by researchers at Columbia and Drexel universities could change the way ...
Viruses are so simple in their structure, they may not even qualify as living things. Yet, they are ruthless in their robotic ...
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 2.8 million antimicrobial-resistant infections occur each year in the U.S. In a new study published in Nature Microbiology ...
Many winners of the annual Lasker Awards have gone on to win a Nobel Prize in medicine or other fields. Lucy Shapiro of Stanford University was honored for her 55-year career investigating how ...
Andrew Monteith receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Research from my colleagues and I revealed that mitochondria play another key role in your immune response: sensing bacterial ...
An innovative imaging technique developed at Carnegie Mellon University reveals single bacterial cells leaving their biofilm community. Watching the bacteria in real-time at high resolution affords ...
Immune cells that eat bacteria in the body don’t stash them in specialized compartments as once thought, but turn them into critical nutrients that build proteins, create energy and keep the cells ...
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 ...
