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 ...

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

Although it well known that the human gut contains a large and diverse array of bacteriophages, a functional understanding of the phage–host interactions is limited. This is, in part, due to a lack of ...

Lurking in our nonstick pans, our rain jackets and even our drinking water are toxic compounds known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also called “forever chemicals.” They can ...

Scientists inch closer to an autologous diabetes cell therapy that dodges the challenge of immune rejection, creating insulin-producing cells from the lining of the gut. As of 2025, an estimated 9.5 ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—the so-called “forever chemicals”—have long been known to accumulate in the human body, raising alarms due to links with decreased fertility, cardiovascular ...
