Some bacterial species possess an astonishing ability: They use Earth's magnetic field to orient themselves. To better ...

Bacteria talk to each other using N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) as quorum sensing (QS) signals. This signaling allows the bacteria to control gene expression of virulence factors and biofilms once ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

Many insects rely on heritable bacterial endosymbionts for essential nutrients that they cannot get through their diet. A new study, published in Nature Communications, indicates that the genomes of ...

New CU Boulder research shows that bacteria harness physical laws to operate at the edge of chaos and use calcium to independently diversify and find a place to settle down Let’s talk about the ...

Have you ever been so hungry that you become angry, otherwise known as "hangry?" New research by Adam Rosenthal, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, has found ...

Marine animals, such as the extremely simple flatworm Trichoplax, are ideal model organisms for studying the early ...
