Evidence suggests that the microbiome is altered in women with endometriosis and researchers discovered that an altered gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in endometriosis disease progression in an animal model.

Researchers have improved the efficiency of molecular genetic methods such as CRISPR/Cas9 and related systems, and have broadened their areas of application.

According to research, marine bacteria can undergo a lifestyle switch from coexistence to pathogenicity, where they kill their phytoplankton hosts.

New research findings show in detail how self-reactive T cells – white blood cells that mistakenly attack healthy instead of infected cells, thereby causing an autoimmune or an inflammatory response – are held in check by regulatory T cells.

The mechanism behind how the vagus nerve signals to the brain and body to regulate inflammation has been identified by researchers from The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research.

Exposure to microplastics, especially nylon fibers, increases the severity of a viral fish disease that affects members of the salmon family.

A recent study has found that a subset of taste cells called type II taste cells may play a key role in the body’s immune response to harmful oral microbes.

A new study by scientists at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) has found that bacteria can break down and digest plastic.

Scientists analyzed how immunological memory, formed after an infection or vaccination that helps protect against reinfection, is generated and maintained, as well as the role inflammation plays in shaping that immunological memory.

Researchers have created the first ever computer reconstruction of a virus, including its complete native genome, that replicates the exact chemical and 3D structure of a "live" virus.
