NewsMicrobiome signaling system could open new paths for treating IBS-related constipation
New research expands scientists’ understanding of how the gut microbiome communicates with the body, and how our gut bacteria work together to control intestinal movement.
-
NewsT cells are a powerful force against Zika virus
Scientists tested two Zika vaccines in a study that brings them one step closer to a “pan-orthoflavivirus vaccine”, which could teach T cells to fight several viruses at once.
-
NewsDietary tryptophan prevents sepsis
Dietary tryptophan protects against sepsis through gut microbiota-derived metabolites which enhance macrophage bacterial phagocytosis.
-
NewsImmune responses to urinary tract infection linked to birth outcomes
A new study shows that the increased risk of preterm pregnancies associated with urinary tract infection, is linked to the body’s immune response to the infection rather than to the bacteria themselves.
-
NewsFor Legionella bacteria, taking over a cell means playing by its rules
New research demonstrates how a protein produced by Legionella mimics the behavior of the host cell’s own proteins.
-
NewsTuberculosis transmission may hold the key to prevention
Scientists have discovered the specific mechanisms that enable the bacteria responsible for tuberculosis to not only survive drying but also to generate mutations linked to antibiotic resistance.
-
NewsGut bacteria may communicate differently with the human body in patients with Parkinson’s disease
A new study suggests that gut bacteria may send different biological signals in Parkinson’s disease.
-
NewsNew approach cuts sepsis diagnosis from days to hours
A research team has developed a way to condense the days-long sepsis diagnosis timeline to just hours, a method which could help clinical decision-making that avoids worsening antibiotic resistance in the bacterial strains causing infections.
-
NewsMagnetotactic bacteria show potential for extending healthy lifespan
Recently, new research has demonstrated that the magnetotactic bacterium (MTB) Magnetospirillum magneticum can extended healthy organismal lifespan in a Caenorhabditis elegans model.
-
NewsNew study reveals how neutrophils reach infection sites without damaging healthy tissue
Researchers discover how neutrophils, the body’s most abundant type of white blood cells, travel to infection sites without damaging healthy tissue.

NewsEpidemiologist discusses Pennsylvania’s first measles deaths in 35 years
Epidemiologist Jennifer Horney highlights the importance of vaccinations after the deaths of two Pennsylvania residents – the first measles deaths in the state in 35 years.
-
NewsDiet quality linked to upper gastrointestinal cancer, with anxiety and depression playing a mediating role
A new study indicates that poor dietary quality - particularly insufficient intake of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and dairy - is significantly associated with both psychological distress and cancer diagnosis.

NewsMeet the Global Ambassadors: our Q&A with Luay Abu-Qatouseh
The Microbiologist gets to know our Global Ambassador for Jordan, Associate Prof. Dr. Luay Abu-Qatouseh of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, University of Petra.

NewsPotential of antibody therapy in treating tick-borne diseases
A new study identifies multiple targets for antibodies that could open new paths toward treatments for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever.
-
NewsUNC Study shows lyme disease is firmly established in western North Carolina
Community-led research in Buncombe County reveals 40% of blacklegged ticks in western North Carolina carry the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease.
-
NewsResearchers identify the immune cells that keep a deadly fungus in check
A new study finds that control of Cryptococcus neoformans depends not on a single immune cell type, but on several working together — a discovery that could reshape how doctors think about preventing life-threatening fungal infections.
-
NewsDelayed antiviral immune responses in alveolar cells increases susceptibility to influenza virus
A new study finds alveolar type 2 cells mount slower interferon-driven antiviral defenses than type 1 cells, enabling higher viral replication during influenza infection.
-
NewsHow the Chagas disease parasite ‘activates’ its form capable of infecting mammals
A new study helps determine how Trypanosoma cruzi manipulates its own RNA to alter protein production and invade the host, which could lead to new therapeutic approaches against Chagas disease.
-
NewsDaily dose of zinc reduces infections by nearly 40% in children with sickle cell anemia
A new study shows that a daily 20mg dose of zinc reduced infections by nearly 40% among Ugandan children younger than 5 with sickle cell anemia.

NewsWorld Mosquito Day 2026: the essential role of mosquito control in tackling increases in mosquito-borne diseases in Europe
EU scientists urge that continued research into interventions and cross-sectoral collaboration is needed to develop effective mosquito control strategies, to help address the increase in mosquito-borne diseases in Europe.
