"[They] accumulate and interfere with the function of cells responsible for processing dead cells in multiple organs." New study sounds alarm over microscopic threat weakening our immune systems: ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

Food allergies are serious and, for some, potentially deadly. And yet, despite decades of research into allergies and what causes them, very little is known about why the vast majority of people are ...

Microglia (immune cells) and the RANK protein are essential for triggering puberty and maintaining fertility in the brain.

The dangers for infection aren’t only caused by microbes, but also by the molecular signals they release. To detect and neutralize these signals, may be the next era for infectious disease control.” — ...

It's not always easy to spot, for starters.

Erectile dysfunction has many causes, but among them is gut dysbiosis: an unbalanced microbiome. That means we may be able to help by changing diet or with fecal transplants.
