Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have completed a spaceflight biology investigation aboard the ...

From an animal perspective, elevated microbial pressure drives early microbiome evolution which is foundational to intestinal ...

More than 3.5 billion years ago, the Earth was not the hospitable world we know today. The atmosphere lacked oxygen, the seas ...

Microorganisms live in biofilms—the equivalent of microbial "cities"—everywhere on Earth. These city-like structures protect ...

A new study reveals that age-related changes in the gut microbiota directly impair intestinal stem cell (ISC) function and that restoring a youthful microbial environment can reverse this decline.

Soils store more carbon than the atmosphere and vegetation combined, with soil microorganisms playing the main role. As a ...

The scalp hosts a diverse microbial community, and its unique environment is shaped by sebum, moisture, and acidic pH. These microbes, including bacteria and fungi, can influence scalp conditions ...

Using machine learning, researchers have developed a way to predict the total number of microbes in our gut from sequencing data, revealing that microbial density, influenced by factors like age and ...

In a meta-analysis published in Gut Microbes, investigators pooled shotgun metagenomic sequencing data to examine how gut ...
