Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led ...

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 ...

In a first-of-its-kind lab study, scientists prove that probiotic bacteria stimulate immediate and measurable changes in brain cell function, hinting at a new direct communication between your gut and ...

Whether in the human body or on surfaces, bacteria protect themselves from outside attackers using biofilms. Physicist ...

Seawater is full of bacteria, hundreds of thousands live in every liter. But the sheer number of bacteria living in the water does not necessarily mean a lot. More important is how active they are and ...

Light is a universal stimulus that influences all living things. Cycles of light and dark help set the biological clocks for organisms ranging from single-celled bacteria to human beings. Some ...

CU Boulder researcher Aaron Whiteley is recognized by the American Society for Microbiology for his work exploring bacterial immune responses and how it translates to the human immune system A ...

Light is a fundamental signal affecting every form of life. Cycles of light and dark help set the biological clocks in ...
