Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have identified a yeast that could be used to prevent invasive candidiasis, a major cause of death in hospitalized and immunocompromised patients. The study, to be published March 18 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), shows that the novel yeast lives harmlessly in the intestines of mice and humans and can displace the yeast responsible for candidiasis, Candida albicans.

Researchers from Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science at the University of California San Diego have uncovered thousands of previously unknown bile acids, a type of molecule used by our gut microbiome to communicate with the rest of the body.
In a new paper published in the journal Nature, Michigan State University researchers Robert Quinn and Doug Guzior report the discovery of the enzyme responsible for producing microbially conjugated bile acids, some of the most abundant and crucial molecules in our gut.
Wistar Institute’s Dr. Mohamed Abdel-Mohsen has demonstrated a connection between viral damage to the gut and premature biological aging.
Stay informed! These are the latest research articles on "Long COVID" from the Coronavirus News Source on Newswise.
Microalgae in water are responsible for roughly 50% of the photosynthesis that converts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into organic carbon. Researchers have now quantified the activity in the microbiome associated with these microalgae to investigate how the microbiome’s members process and exchange carbon and nitrogen from algal cells. They used isotopes and high-resolution imaging mass spectrometry to quantify these exchanges at the single-cell level.
Scientists at the UC Davis School of Medicine may have figured out why some people have trouble digesting sorbitol, a sugar alcohol used in sugar-free gum, mints, candy and other products.
At the Department of Chemistry at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, PhD student Belal Abu Salha developed a process of coating fruits and veggies with edible nanoparticles using sonochemistry, and extended the shelf life of strawberries by 15 days.
The same technology at work in induction cooktops cut the amount of bacteria present in a prosthetic joint infection when used in conjunction with antibiotics in a mouse model, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report in a new study.
The in silico trial demonstrated 2X the efficacy of the current treatment (>80% vs 39%); 3X shorter treatment time to cure (6 vs 18 months); 1 drug compared to a 3-drug combo for the standard of care; and preclinical results in shorter time than animal models.
Clinical studies suggest the Mediterranean diet, and one of its main components, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), improves cognitive function and slows Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression. Researchers will now investigate whether this is true even for people with a family history of AD and signs of genetic predisposition caused by dysfunction in the APOE gene.
A new clinical trial, led by clinicians and researchers at the UNC School of Medicine, show that the combination of the drug vorinostat and immunotherapy may modestly shrink the latent HIV reservoir, but more work needs to be done in the field to create a cure.
For the first time, researchers have identified what appears to be a network of approximately 20 microbes that universally drive the decomposition of animal flesh.
Bacteriophages are common in soil ecosystems, but many of these phages and the bacteria they target have not been identified.
A Encefalite é uma doença que envolve a inflamação ou inchaço do cérebro. Isso pode acontecer devido a infecções ou problemas no sistema imunológico, e o tratamento precoce é importante.
التهاب الدماغ هو مرض ينطوي على التهاب أو تورم الدماغ. ويمكن أن يحدث بسبب التهابات أو مشكلات تصيب الجهاز المناعي، والعلاج المبكر لتلك الحالة مهم. يقول ساروش إيراني، بكالوريوس الطب والجراحة.، طبيب الأعصاب، وباحث في مايو كلينك في جاكسونفيل، فلوريدا أنه لهذا السبب من الضروري رفع مستوى الوعي.
La Encefalitis es una enfermedad que implica inflamación o hinchazón del cerebro. Esto puede suceder debido a infecciones o problemas con el sistema inmunológico, y el tratamiento temprano es importante.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by decreased social communication and repetitive behaviors, has long intrigued scientists seeking to unravel its underlying mechanisms.
Through hard work and ingenuity, some Sandia employees are excelling at moving technology to market, a feat that is now being honored by the Federal Laboratory Consortium.
Space exploration is a complex and risky mission that requires careful preparation and a thorough understanding of the challenges inherent to life in space
Biologists from the Research Center of Biotechnology and RUDN University found bacteria on Franz Josef Land that adapted to low temperatures and learned to degrade petroleum products.
A life-threatening mold infection known as health care-associated Fusarium solani meningitis can be associated with a delayed, but devastating, injury to the brainstem and its blood supply among those infected, according to physicians from UTHealth Houston.
