Many people have a fear of needles. The fear is mainly due to the pain experienced while getting injected and the bruising that happens as a result of repeated injections. Now, scientists have created an alternative drug delivery method to…
University of Queensland researchers have found a range of commonly prescribed antidepressants can increase bacteria’s resistance to antibiotic medications. A study led by Professor Jianhua Guo from UQ’s Australian Centre for Water and Environmental Biotechnology focused on prescription drugs used…
In a significant new study, UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have uncovered a link between a patient’s microbiome and their immune system that can potentially be used to improve the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma. This type of cancer…
After studying the genetic sequences of more than 100,000 people, researchers around the country have started to uncover the root causes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. But those studies have a glaring flaw: They are…
A transporter which some bacteria use to recycle fragments of their cell wall has been discovered by researchers at Umeå university, Sweden. They found that the transporter controls resistance to certain kinds of cell-wall targeting antibiotics. The transporter that Professor…
The World Health Organization (WHO) ranks antibiotic resistance as one of the top ten threats to global health. There is therefore a great need for new solutions to tackle resistant bacteria and reduce the use of antibiotics. A group of…
Bacteria of the genus Enterobacter are among the most dangerous bacteria associated with hospital infections worldwide. Some of their representatives are highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics, so that the reserve antibiotic colistin is increasingly used as a last resort…
In a recent article published in Science Translational Medicine, researchers reviewed the cause and the underlying pathophysiology of allergic diseases. They also pursued evidence of the role of genetics, the epithelial barrier, the immune system, environmental changes, and pollutants, biological…
Asthma and obesity are common inflammatory diseases that are mediated by specific immunological features. For example, asthma is associated with Th2 response, while obesity is with the Th1/Th17 profile. When these immunological features are combined, more severe asthmatic reactions occur…
Many bacteria form spores that can survive in the air, causing the microorganisms to be transmitted within a household, even if its members aren’t intimate with one another Health 18 January 2023 By Clare Wilson People who live together may…
