Researchers re-purposed CRISPR gene editing technology to study genes targeted by particular antibiotics. The study sheds light on how pharmacologists can improve existing antibiotics and develop new ones.
Researchers find higher levels of LPS and E coli K99 pili proteins in brain samples of Alzheimer's patients.
Researchers have implicated Porphyromonas gingivalis, a bacteria commonly associated with gum disease, in Alzheimer's pathology. The study reports oral Pg infections leads to a colonization and increased production of amyloid beta.
A new editorial indicates certain microbes may be responsible for Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers have identified a new active botulinum neurotoxin. The discovery could lead to the development of new protein therapeutics.
Researchers have developed a new mathematical model that analyzes the interactions between gut bacteria.
Dopamine may play a role in activating immune cells to migrate in the early stages of infection.
A new mouse study reveals pups of mothers who faced prenatal stress and who were exposed, by birth, to maternal vaginal microbiota had decreased body weight and exhibited increased stress hormones as adults.
Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HA-114, a non-commercial probiotic reduces neurodegeneration and has neuroprotective effects in lab models of ALS.
Understanding the complexity of the human microbiome may help unlock mysteries behind health and psychological illnesses.
Researchers use a mathematical model to demonstrate that bacteria can control robot behavior.
Researchers report differences in oral microbial gene expression may distinguish children with ASD from their peers not on the spectrum. The study suggests GI microbiome disruptions, previously identified in children with ASD, may extend to the mouth and throat.
