In recent years, scientists have begun to reveal the myriad ways that gut microbes can impact our health; they had identified ...
Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led ...
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 ...
Type VI secretion systems (T6SS) are sophisticated nanomachines that bacteria employ to inject effector proteins directly into neighbouring cells. These systems are structurally reminiscent of ...
A bacterial defense system called SPARDA employs kamikaze-like tactics to protect cells and could be useful in future ...
The protein called intelectin-2 plays another important role by reinforcing the protective mucus layer that lines the ...
What the research is about Shigellosis is an infectious disease that causes severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloody ...
