Daily dynamics in the composition and function of the human gut microbiota have been recognized since 2014, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying these rhythms and their impact on human health remai...

Most people don’t get enough sleep. Emerging research shows that gut microbes and their metabolic products influence sleep quality and duration. How can understanding this link help us sleep better?

Gene expression studies in the critical pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii identified the existence of daily rhythms displaying a robust response to light, as well as endogenous circadian rhythms, synchronized by the BlsA photoreceptor.

Life on Earth evolved in environmental conditions that fluctuate with a daily cycle. Organisms from all kingdoms of life, including plants and their a…

Acinetobacter baumannii is recognized as the paradigm of multidrug resistant superbug, topping the WHO priority list of critical human pathogens. Interestingly, it senses and responds to blue light, w...
