A study reveals that pro-inflammatory gut bacteria mimicking the myelin sheath trigger immune attacks on nerves, worsening MS ...

If gut bacteria are too similar to the protective layer of nerves, they can misdirect the immune system and cause it to ...

New research shows some gut bacteria mimic myelin, tricking immunity to attack nerves and worsen MS. Non-inflammatory ...

A newly discovered promoter element "start" points to a shared regulatory syntax for controlling transcription initiation in ...

Proteins need to fold into specific shapes to perform their functions in cells, but they occasionally misfold, which can ...

New research reveals that when gut bacteria closely resemble the myelin sheath that protects nerve fibers, the immune system can become confused and attack both — accelerating multiple sclerosis.

Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...

A novel method converts industrial lignin waste into porous materials for effective removal of pollutants and bacteria from ...

Machine learning methods have emerged as promising tools to predict antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and uncover resistance determinants from genomic data. This study shows that sampling biases driven ...

A groundbreaking study led by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) has revealed ...

Nobody wants harmful bacteria colonizing the surfaces of objects such as medical implants, yet we also don't want them building up a resistance to antibiotics. Well, help may be on the way, in the ...
