Researchers describe a new manner of detecting microbial infection that intercepts pathogen-derived signals of growth to assess the relative threat of virulent bacteria. A nuclear hormone receptor in ...

Before invaders can be stopped, they must first be detected, and this is accomplished by pattern recognition receptors located on the surface of plant cells. The ability of these receptors to detect ...

There's a line of thought that equates intelligence with “pattern recognition.” How do you stack up on this unique cognitive ...

To date, several studies have established a connection between the brain and the gut microbiota. Now, research in mice from scientists at Duke University School of Medicine and their collaborators ...

A new study reveals how your gut bacteria can directly tell your brain when to stop eating, opening fresh avenues for appetite and metabolic research. Study: A gut sense for a microbial pattern ...

Plants are continuously evolving new immune receptors to ever-changing pathogens. Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) have traced the origin and evolutionary ...
