Mar. 22, 2024 Researchers at McMaster University and Stanford University have invented a new generative artificial intelligence model which can design billions of new antibiotic molecules that are inexpensive and ...
Mar. 22, 2024 Could life be found in frozen sea spray from moons orbiting Saturn or Jupiter? New research finds that life can be detected in a single ice grain containing one bacterial cell or portions of a cell. ...
Mar. 20, 2024 Researchers have found that a specific subtype of a microbe commonly found in the mouth is able to travel to the gut and grow within colorectal cancer tumors. This microbe is also a culprit for ...
Mar. 20, 2024 Infectious diseases specialists call the medical field to be ready to deal with the impact of climate change on spreading diseases, such as malaria, Valley fever, E. coli and Lyme ...
Mar. 20, 2024 A new study finds a complex interplay between diet, genes, and the gut microbiota that could explain why IBD ...
Mar. 19, 2024 Human sweat contains a protein that may protect against Lyme disease. About one-third of the population carries a genetic variant of this protein that is associated with Lyme disease in genome-wide ...
Mar. 18, 2024 Some soil bacteria can acquire sets of genes that enable them to pump the heavy metal nickel out of their systems, a study has found. This enables the bacteria to not only thrive in otherwise toxic ...
Mar. 18, 2024 Our eating habits in industrialized societies are far removed from those of ancient humans. This is impacting our intestinal flora, it seems, as newly discovered cellulose degrading bacteria are ...
Mar. 18, 2024 A new study shows how heteroresistance, a transient resistance common in many bacteria, can act as a precursor to the development of antibiotic ...
Mar. 18, 2024 A global wave of infections caused by fungi growing drug-resistant has the medical community issuing precautions on how to protect ...
Mar. 18, 2024 Although prevention and treatment strategies are available for influenza, they are not sufficient for vulnerable populations such as young children and newborns. A team of researchers has studied ...
Mar. 15, 2024 Investigators discovered that unique bacteria colonize the gut shortly after birth and make the neurotransmitter serotonin to educate gut immune cells. This prevents allergic reactions to food and ...
Mar. 15, 2024 Perfectly adapted microorganisms live in extreme environments from deep-sea trenches to mountaintops. Learning more about how these extremophiles survive in hostile conditions could inform scientists ...
Mar. 15, 2024 Researchers have discovered a link between gut bacteria and the success of milk-allergy oral immunotherapy. The study found that Bifidobacterium -- a genus of beneficial bacteria in the gut -- was ...
Mar. 14, 2024 Scientists have confirmed that a potentially fatal dog parasite is present in a portion of the Colorado River that runs through ...
Mar. 14, 2024 Scientists are exploring how tuning the genomes of mushrooms and molds can transform these food sources into gourmet, nutrient-packed meals made with minimal processing and a light environmental ...
Mar. 14, 2024 Researchers combined artificial intelligence and chemical biosensors to ferment the precursor of an Alzheimer's drug in ...
Mar. 14, 2024 A recent scientific breakthrough has emerged from the work of researchers aiming to combat SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. The study focuses on the design and development of a novel ...
Mar. 13, 2024 Gut bacteria and a diet rich in the amino acid tryptophan can play a protective role against pathogenic E. coli, which can cause severe stomach upset, cramps, fever, intestinal bleeding and renal ...
Mar. 13, 2024 Findings from a new study reflect the important role that the gut microbiome (communities of bacteria) plays in the airway health of persons with cystic ...
