New study suggests some vaccines could induce a protective shift in the microorganisms that live with a host organism. A human or animal’s microbiome —…
Researchers have introduced the concept of “nested invasions,” where invading species like Johnstone’s whistling frog carry invasive microbiomes to new ecosystems. The study emphasizes the…
Brigham and Women’s Hospital researchers found that Th17 cell development in the gut, linked to conditions like IBD, could occur even in the absence of…
Contrary to common belief, anorexia nervosa is not just a desire to be skinny. Rather, it is a complicated mental illness that alters the brain’s…
Protective antidote drugs could protect certain gut microbes without interfering with antibiotics’ effectiveness against harmful bacteria. Antibiotics help to fight bacterial infections, but they can…
