In the era of increasing bacterial antibiotic resistance, finding new ways of combating pathogens is especially important. An attractive possibility is targeting bacterial survival strategies that ...

University of Queensland research has revealed that double-stranded RNA-based biopesticides (dsRNA) sprayed on plant leaves ...

Scientists in Seoul have uncovered 15 gut bacterial species linked to coronary artery disease, showing that microbes can influence heart health far beyond digestion. Their findings reveal how shifts ...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) has steadily accelerated in recent years to become a global health crisis. As deadly bacteria evolve new ways to elude drug treatments for a variety of illnesses, a growing ...

Chlamydia pneumoniae—a common bacterium that causes pneumonia and sinus infections—can linger in the eye and brain for years and may aggravate Alzheimer's disease, according to a study from ...

Researchers found that small doses of an antibiotic can coax gut bacteria into producing a life-extending compound. In worms, this led to longer lifespans, while mice showed healthier cholesterol and ...

Nanoplastics are increasingly recognized as a threat to human health, but new research suggests their dangers extend beyond direct exposure. By interacting with bacteria in drinking water systems, ...

For bacteria, squeezing through tight spaces can be a dead end. Narrow passages usually trap cells, halt their movement, and effectively filter out which microbes can go any farther. But new research ...

WEST LAFAYETTE — A Purdue University research team has identified a new target for treating triple-negative breast cancer, a particularly deadly form of the disease that currently lacks targeted ...

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a critical immunostimulatory impurity in mRNA production and poses a problem for the downstream purification methods vital to manufacturing mRNA vaccines and ...
