Metabolite produced by gut microbes found to be involved in regulating commensal bacteria

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS) have discovered that acetate, a major metabolite produced by some intestinal bacteria, is involved in regulating other intestinal bacteria.

Subset of immune cells may carry out a sort of 'secondary education' to protect pregnancy

Researchers at UC San Francisco are zeroing in on how the immune system may play a role in miscarriage, which affects about a quarter of pregnancies.

Gene therapy may be safe and effective in treating AADC deficiency

A new study published in Nature Communications suggests that gene therapy delivered into the brain may be safe and effective in treating aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency.

New multimodal diagnostic can detect cancer cells and pinpoint tumor location

Most of the tests that doctors use to diagnose cancer -- such as mammography, colonoscopy, and CT scans -- are based on imaging. More recently, researchers have also developed molecular diagnostics that can detect specific cancer-associated molecules that circulate in bodily fluids like blood or urine.

Study confirms long-term immune system responses of adenovirus vaccines for COVID-19

Researchers from the University of Oxford suggest that adenovirus vaccine vectors may create strong long-term immune system responses.

Study reveals the basis of oxygenation fluctuations in brain

The brain is supplied with sufficient nutrients and oxygen due to the blood flow; however, the oxygenation is likely to fluctuate distinctly and uniformly.

Pest attacks trigger defensive electrical and biochemical responses across tomato plants

A recent study in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems shows that the fruits of a type of tomato plant send electrical signals to the rest of the plant when they are infested by caterpillars.

Earth's climate control system changed with proliferation of marine animals and land plants

Earth's climate was relatively stable for a long period of time. For three billion years, temperatures were mostly warm and carbon dioxide levels high - until a shift occurred about 400 million years ago.

Illinois scientists make it easier for farmers to choose plant biostimulants

Corn growers can choose from a wide array of products to make the most of their crop, but the latest could bring seaweed extract to a field near you. The marine product is just one class in a growing market of crop biostimulants marketed for corn.

Contamination of urban surface water by human waste drives 'superbug' spread

Contamination of urban lakes, rivers and surface water by human waste is creating pools of 'superbugs' in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) - but improving access to clean water, sanitation and sewerage infrastructure could help to protect people's health, a new study reveals.
