Microrobots, that can swim around in the lungs, deliver medication and be used to clear up life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia.

How can we selectively kill harmful gut bacteria that cause inflammatory bowel disease or other disorders? Researchers suggest using viruses

An organic compound could become a critical tool in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a new study suggests.

The lava caves, lava tubes and geothermal vents on the big island of Hawaiʻi have higher bacterial diversity than scientists expected

There are lots of choices on the drug store shelves, but which fiber supplement is the right one for you? All of them help, say researchers.

A tiny piece of rural Washington state—and some of its “inhabitants”— blasted off into space from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Researchers have combined robotics with biology by equipping E. coli bacteria with artificial components to construct biohybrid microrobots.

Researchers develop a totally new type of fuel that has projected energy density greater than the most advanced heavy-duty fuels used today.

The first discovery of viruses infecting a group of microbes that may include the ancestors of all complex life has been found.

Every day, people die of simple inflammation because bacteria can no longer be killed with antibiotics. So what do we do?

Men who drank either one alcoholic or non-alcoholic lager daily had a more diverse set of gut microbes, reducing the risk for some diseases.

Researchers have shown that probiotics can support the effect of antidepressants and help to alleviate depression.

Over the last 50 years, malaria parasites have developed resistance to seven drugs, but a new way to identify future antimalarials holds

A new antibiotic derived from computer models of bacterial gene products, appears to neutralize even drug-resistant bacteria.

Nano-sized robots manipulated using a magnetic field can help kill bacteria deep inside dentinal tubules, and boost root canal success.

Our gut is home to countless bacteria, which help us to digest food. But what exactly do the microorganisms do inside the body?

Transplanting fecal microbiota from young into old mice can reverse hallmarks of aging in the gut, eyes, and brain.

Eggs or yogurt, veggies or potato chips? We make decisions about what to eat every day, but those choices may not be fully our own.

These findings demonstrate that a direct dialog occurs between the gut microbiota and the brain and could lead to new therapeutic approaches

Researchers have made tiny ‘skyscrapers’ for communities of bacteria, helping them to generate electricity from just sunlight and water.
