In Tanzania, we watched on many occasions when small flocks of red-billed birds descended upon the backs of giraffes, cape ...

In a recent study published in the Cell Host & Microbe Journal, researchers explored commensalism and pathogenesis relationships in the human mycobiome. Study: One population, multiple lifestyles: ...

Signals from the bacteria that harmlessly -- and often beneficially -- inhabit the human gastrointestinal tract boost the immune system's ability to kill a major respiratory pathogen, Klebsiella ...

Researchers have produced vaccine-like immune responses to a dangerous bacterium by colonizing 26 healthy volunteers with a related, but harmless, commensal bacterial species. The first-in-human, ...

Using mathematical modeling, researchers have shown that commensal bacteria that cause problems later in life most likely played a key role in stabilizing early human populations. The finding offers ...

Anelloviruses, commensal viruses that display tropism and evade the immune system, are being harnessed by Ring Therapeutics, which is using its Anellogy platform to develop treatments for a range of ...

Immune system's ability to kill a major respiratory pathogen, Klebsiella pneumoniae, is boosted by the signals from bacteria that harmlessly, and often beneficially, inhabit the human ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Commensalism is the association of two organisms, one of which derives benefit while the other is unaffected. These relationships are common ...

Recent work indicates that antigens originating from the microbiome may look, from the perspective of immune cells, like proteins found in the human body, and may therefore trigger an autoimmune ...
