The human skin microbiome constitutes a vast, diverse community of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that acts as a protective barrier against external pathogens. Recent research indicates that these endogenous microbial populations naturally produce novel antimicrobial compounds to defend their host. #Microbiology #Biochemistry #BiomedicalSciences #InfectiousDiseasePharmacology #sflorg https://www.sflorg.com/2026/07/mcb07212601.html

Researchers have discovered that metabolites produced by a specific gut bacterium can significantly enhance the body's immune response to cancer. The bacterium Bacteroides uniformis converts the amino acid tryptophan into indoles, which subsequently suppress tumor growth and boost anti-tumor immunity. #Oncology #Immunology #Microbiology #NutritionalScience #sflorg https://www.sflorg.com/2026/07/ongy07162601.html

Beliefs in mind uploading and mechanical immortality are very common within the American tech bro scene. But these are absurd delusions that are not at all supported by biology. We just published a comprehensive rebuttal of this fantasy by biologist and philosopher @yoginho@spore.social https://plus.flux.community/p/the-myth-of-mind-uploading #philosophy #ai #biology #microbiology

Hi fedi. Are there any microbiologists, mycologists, botanists, or other scientists or science enjoyers #OnHere who would have some reading recommendations for me in understanding the succession of life in forefields and other sterile environments? I am a filthy scifi writer so I am actually interested in this process in the setting of exoplanet regolith but I feel like understanding the research we have on similar environments on Earth is the only real place to start. Please boost 💜 Thank you! #AskFedi #ScienceSideOfFedi #AskMastodon #Microbiology #Mycology #Botany #Biology #Scifi #FediPaperClub
