Yibin Zhu’s work highlights how microbiota from both the hosts and vectors can either promote or suppress virus transmission.

Bacteria that live peacefully in the human gut can aim molecular syringes at intestinal cells and fire proteins directly into ...

The human intestine is colonised by a vast and diverse community of microorganisms whose collective activities are essential to digestion, barrier integrity and immune homeostasis. Commensal bacteria ...

The “MDME Axis”: a new framework explaining how metabolites from gut microbiome epigenetically reprogram our genes, influencing host health and disease. Gut microbiota play a critical role not only in ...

The microbiome comprises a multitude of bacteria, viruses and fungi that exist in and on a multicellular organism. The interactions of body cells and the microbiome form a structural and often ...

Microbial secretion systems are at the core of bacterial physiology, facilitating processes such as protein export, ...

Scientists have identified many types of bacteria in the mouth, but many problems remain in understanding how they work with one another. One of the problems is that microbes assemble themselves into ...

Live biotherapeutics represent an emerging frontier in microbiotechnology, offering novel approaches to treat and prevent ...
