There is a microscopic society living within us. Many of them reside in our gut. In some colon cancers, toxin-producing bacteria invade the mucus and form a...
We discovered viruses, called phages, that are capable of killing an antibiotic-resistant superbug lurking in intensive care units (ICUs). When the superbug...
Around 5,000 years ago, different Neolithic populations in Europe started to reduce in size and even disappear. The reasons for this decay are still largely...
E. coll O157 (EHEC) is a foodborne pathogen associated with limited treatment options. The University of Glasgow and The University of Strathclyde are...
Growing concerns over the use of synthetic pesticides in agriculture have sparked a renewed interest in natural alternatives. Our work revisits a formerly...

Tuberculosis causes more deaths worldwide every year than any other infectious disease, except COVID-19. Today, its treatment is getting increasingly...
From touchdown to cell entry, sophisticated microscopy can shed new light into the molecular mechanisms established by the viruses to hijack the cellular...
In many cases, doctors do not know why one patient responds well to a drug, while another experiences significant side effects for the same drug. We found that...
Reducing the number of calories eaten every day has many positive effects on health. In our research, we have shown that in mice, some of the effects of...
The Atacama Desert in Northern Chile is the driest and oldest desert on Earth. For this reason, it has been investigated as Mars analog model. We found that,...
‘First contact’ with M. tuberculosis bacteria occurs in the deep lung, making early tuberculosis difficult to study. A lung-on-chip model recreates this...
