A new article outlines how the compounding effects of climate change could weaken human gut microbiomes.

Findings may help predict how rain and irrigation systems launch particles and pathogens from watery surfaces, with implications for industry, agriculture, and public health.

FragFold, developed by MIT Biology researchers, is a computational method with potential for impact on biological research and therapeutic applications.

Gut bacteria are increasingly implicated in non-gut-related autoimmune diseases. Researchers have begun to understand how they’re connected.

Although gluten-free foods are trendy, they are a necessity only if you have celiac disease or wheat allergies.

Research suggests that not only do bacteria form species, but they also maintain cohesive species through a process that is somewhat “sexual."

Synthetic cells that look just like natural cells but are chemically reversed could outcompete other living organisms − with dire consequences for human health and the environment.

Researchers have identified a strain of bacteria that eats forever chemicals—and even some of their toxic byproducts.

Studying the pathogen R. parkeri, researchers discovered the first evidence of extensive and stable interkingdom contacts between a pathogen and a eukaryotic organelle.

"This study is a total game changer in our understanding of how microbial communities change over time."
