Pathogens have to overcome colonization resistance by the microbiota to colonize the gut and to cause disease. The microbiota modulates the immune system to limit pathogen colonization but also ...
Periodontitis is widespread and can have serious consequences for overall health. Researchers at Fraunhofer have identified a ...
Phylogenies show how organisms are related to each other by placing them in an ordered map of them and their relatives. These can be done on a large scale, such as the tree of life, or on a smaller ...
An organism's genome is a sequence of DNA nucleotides - either A, G, T or C (for adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine) - grouped into triplets, called codons. Each codon codes for a specific amino ...
Bacterial infections can be treated more efficiently if the cause of the disease is known. In most cases, all it takes to identify a pathogen is an analysis in a medical laboratory. Sometimes, however ...
Using DNA microarray technology, researchers at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research have discovered that a type of human immune cell, known as a dendritic cell, initiates an immune ...
Reviewed by Michael Greenwood, M.Sc. Resistance to external pathogens by an organism’s immune system has been strongly debated by life scientists for many years. Mainly observed in plants, ...
All too often, controlling pathogenic and spoilage microbes in a new or reformulated food product comes at the end of the development process. René Floris, NIZO Food Research Division Manager and ...
