CursusScientists have discovered that bacteria from kimchi can bind to and remove nanoplastics from the body, opening up new possibilities for biological methods to combat plastic pollution.
SalusRecent studies indicate that sugar substitutes such as sorbitol are not always safer than regular sugar and may cause unwanted metabolic effects. Choosing alternatives requires an individual approach and consideration of each person's metabolic characteristics.
CursusA new study has shown that different species of mosquitoes choose their victims based on unique scents and the skin microbiome, and that there are no universally attractive people for all insects. These findings could help develop more effective protective measures.
CursusScientists have discovered three previously unknown genotypes of Helicobacter bacteria in pygmy sperm whales, which may be linked to diseases of their gastrointestinal tract. This finding raises important questions about the impact of bacterial infections on the health of marine mammals and the overall state of ocean ecosystems.
CursusResearchers at MIT, using artificial intelligence, have discovered thousands of new genes that protect bacteria from viruses, including previously unknown defense mechanisms. This breakthrough expands our understanding of how immunity evolves in microorganisms.
CursusScientists have discovered that pythons produce a metabolite called pTOS, which helps them survive for long periods without food. When this substance was administered to obese mice, it reduced their appetite and body weight without causing side effects. This research opens up new possibilities for developing innovative treatments for obesity in humans.
SalusA study has shown that the bacterium Roseburia inulinivorans helps increase muscle mass and strength in elderly people. This microorganism is considered a promising basis for probiotics aimed at combating age-related frailty.
CursusSome species of ants have learned to transform carbon dioxide from their underground nests into a durable mineral layer that strengthens their exoskeleton and protects the colony. This process allows the insects to simultaneously get rid of excess CO2 and reinforce their outer shell.
SalusJapanese biologists have discovered that the interaction between two types of gut bacteria can destroy the protective mucous layer, leading to the development of chronic constipation. This finding offers a new approach to treatment, especially for patients who do not respond to laxatives.
CursusScientists have decoded the genome of a bacterium found in an ice cave that is 5,000 years old and discovered that it is resistant to eight classes of modern antibiotics. This finding confirms that mechanisms of drug resistance were developing in nature long before the advent of medicine.
CursusScientists have discovered that bacteria can move across surfaces without flagella by creating an osmotic "wave" through the processing of sugars. This finding is important for combating bacterial infections.
AgrosScientists have used CRISPR technology to create wheat that encourages soil bacteria to naturally fix nitrogen. This breakthrough could reduce fertilizer costs, increase crop yields, and lessen environmental harm.
CursusAmerican scientists have discovered that the microgravity conditions on the ISS help bacteriophage viruses acquire mutations that allow them to effectively destroy bacteria resistant to antibiotics. These experiments open up new possibilities for developing drugs against superbugs.
CursusA new study has shown that gut bacteria from primates with large brains can activate genes in rodents related to energy supply and cognitive functions, which may have played a role in the evolution of intelligence.
NaturaA new study has shown that coral reefs not only support marine biodiversity but also regulate the daily rhythms of microbial communities in the surrounding waters. These processes may serve as important indicators of reef health and changes occurring in the ocean.
