Gut bacteria may control movement: Study suggests that bacteria may regulate neuronal circuits behind movement in flies
A new study puts a fresh spin on what it means to “go with your gut.” The findings, published in […]
Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have engineered an antiviral peptide that exploits the Zika virus at its […] Candida albicans infection (candidiasis) can cause skin, genital, or oral pain. Many studies have attempted to understand the source of […] New computational simulations suggest that the effects of antibiotics on a bacterial community depend on whether neighboring species have competitive […] A common ingredient in toothpaste and hand wash could be contributing to antibiotic resistance, according to University of Queensland research. […] Mucus and other airway secretions that are expelled when a person with the flu coughs or exhales appear to protect […] Growing threats to public health could be addressed by cutting-edge research that reveals how farm animals contribute to the spread […] The increasingly popular practice of ‘vaginal seeding’ — in which cesarean-delivered babies are immediately swabbed with the mother’s vaginal fluids […] Francisella tularensis is the bacterium that causes tularemia, a life-threatening disease spread to humans via contact with an infected animal […] The level of diversity of the ‘good bacteria’ in our digestive systems has been found to be linked to a […]Microbes and More
