The human microbiome plays a key role in drug development and precision medicine, but understanding its complex interactions with drugs remains a challenge. Identifying microbe-drug associations not ...

After so many years learning how microbes work, researchers are now digitally recreating their inner workings to tackle challenges ranging from climate change to space colonization. In my work as a ...

Depending on others for something you need may feel like a risky proposition—and perhaps a human one. It is actually a survival strategy found in the microbial world, and far more frequently than one ...

Researchers have created the largest collection of digital microbes -- nearly a quarter million computer models -- to help revolutionize our understanding of the human microbiome and its impact on ...

Depending on others for something you need may feel like a risky proposition—and perhaps a human one. It is actually a survival strategy found in the microbial world, and far more frequently than one ...

Researchers at National Taiwan University refined a pseudo-germ-free mouse model to make gut microbiome studies safer for mice and more reliable. Using this model, they found that antibiotic-driven ...

A highly versatile and dynamic microbiome is present on the surface of the human skin 1,2. The skin consists of the subcutaneous adipose layer, the dermis, and the epidermis, of which the latter is ...

Hundreds of different bacterial species live in the human gut, helping us to digest our food. The metabolic processes of these bacteria are not only tremendously important to our health -- they are ...
