As microbes invade the human body, phagocytic cells such as macrophages spring into action to clear the intruders. These cells extend arm-like projections and wrap them around the microbes before ...

Millions of people around the world have an autoimmune disorder known as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which can cause serious joint pain, swelling, and damage, among other symptoms. The disease is ...

The human gut is home to trillions of microbes that not only aid in digestion but also play a key role in shaping our immune system. These microbes communicate with the body by releasing a range of ...

How can trillions of microbes live in our gut without causing a massive immune reaction? Scientists have been researching this question for years, and we are learning more about how the gut microbiome ...

After spending years tracing the origin and migration pattern of an unusual type of immune cell in mice, researchers have shown in a new study how activity of "good" microbes in the gut is linked to ...

Thousands of bacterial and other microbial species live in the human gut, supporting healthy digestion, immunity, metabolism and other functions. Precisely how these microbes are protected from immune ...
