When our body is attacked by a pathogen, the pathogen has to find ways to evade our immune system and invade our cells to cause infection and illness. Reporting in Cell, researchers have now ...
How do pathogens invade the lungs? Using human lung microtissues, a team has uncovered the strategy used by a dangerous pathogen. The bacterium targets specific lung cells and has developed a ...
A new study by researchers at Kiel University and MPI-EvolBio describes how more efficient protein production drives the adaptation of fungi to the human body, potentially turning previously harmless ...
More than half of human pathogens may be aggravated by climate change and this is accelerating disease transmission, according to a new report. It’s already been a record year for new and amplified ...
A new way to map the spread and evolution of pathogens, and their responses to vaccines and antibiotics, will provide key insights to help predict and prevent future outbreaks. The approach combines a ...
Our bodies host a variety of microorganisms, and the microbial communities in and on our bodies have to maintain the right balances among their members, or problems can arise. This includes the ...
