Experiments in mice show that some gut bacteria can absorb toxic PFAS chemicals, allowing animals to expel them through feces.

When tested on their own and in mice, these bacterial strains from the human microbiome show promise in accumulating PFAS ...

Contrary to previous claims, our results indicate that NB represent nonliving, biomimetic, mineralo-organic NPs, and that multiple mechanisms exist in the body to prevent the formation of mineral ...

Ultraweak biophotons largely caused by metabolic processes could play a key role in noninvasive health testing.

Recently, in his lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Yunker and his team created detailed topographical maps of the three-dimensional surface of a growing biofilm. These measurements allowed ...

Tiny remote-controlled blob robots may revolutionize infection treatment by eradicating stubborn bacterial biofilms on medical implants with precision and ease.

Sometimes, biofilms are even considered to be continuous parts of human tissue, as exemplified by oral biofilms on our teeth or the microbiome residing in human guts.

A small group of scientists on the biofilm mitigation team at NASA's Marshall Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama, study solutions to combat fast-growing colonies of bacteria or fungi, known as ...

In the human body, bacterial biofilms can be found on many surfaces such as the skin, teeth, and mucosa. Plaque that forms on teeth is an example of a biofilm. Most bacteria are capable of forming ...
