Gout biomarkers linked to lipids, amino acids, and genes may help refine future therapeutic targeting. Read more.

In recent years, scientists have begun to reveal the myriad ways that gut microbes can impact our health; they have identified relationships between bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and the ...

A GIF showing a protein mimicking IL-2 binding to IL-2 receptors, then changing shape in response to an effector molecule, which forces it off of one of the receptors. A protein mimicking IL-2 called ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. Led by researchers at Helmholtz Munich, with participation from Ludwig Maximilians ...
