OSU researchers study quorum sensing in a gram-negative bacterium that displays social behaviors

Oregon State University scientists have identified proteins that prevent a bacterial cell from becoming misguided by its own messaging, allowing it to instead wait for collective communication from its group.

Infants in industrialized nations have fewer gut bacteria that efficiently digest breast milk

The guts of infants are nearly sterile at birth, but they become a community of trillions of microbial cells, known as the microbiome, by the time they reach adulthood.

Potential applications of bioactive molecules present in fruit peels

A recent study published in Current Issues in Molecular Biology reviewed the potential biological applications of fruit peel extracts.

People with higher blood DHA levels are 49% less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease, study shows

New research published today in Nutrients shows that people with a higher blood DHA level are 49% less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease vs. those with lower levels, according to the Fatty Acid Research Institute (FARI).

Naturally-produced antibodies in mothers may enhance infants' immunity against bacterial pathogens

Researchers have known for some time that maternal breast milk provides critical nutrients for newborns, and antibodies from mothers vaccinated against a specific disease-causing bacterium or virus can be transferred via breast milk to babies.

Research reveals why many cancers are vulnerable to FDA-approved IDH1 inhibitors

A drug used to target IDH1 mutations in select cancers also appears to inhibit the wild-type form of the enzyme, under certain conditions.

Alternative remedy to conventional root canals would regenerate lost tooth pulp

Each year, dentists in the United States perform more than 15 million root canals on infected teeth, removing the inflamed pulp and filling the emptied canal with inert materials such as rubber and cement. What remains is a mineral shell in place of a living tooth.

Researchers demonstrate the double advantage of killer T-cells used in cancer immunotherapy

To grow, tumors rely on a specific structure, the tumor stroma. This includes blood vessels, which provide the nutrients necessary for the multiplication of diseased cells, and of lymphatic vessels, through which they migrate to metastasize.

Ketogenic diet promotes muscle stem cell resilience but slows injury repair in mice

Fasting sends muscle stem cells into a deep resting state that slows muscle repair but also makes them more resistant to stress, according to a Stanford Medicine study of laboratory mice.

Gene therapy for degenerative retinal disease has no safety concerns but fails to improve vision loss

A 28-patient phase 1 gene therapy clinical trial for the degenerative retinal disease Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) found no significant safety concerns; however, treatment failed to improve or slow vision loss, with even the highest dose. LHON affects the optic nerve, which carries visual signals from the light-sensing retina to the brain.

New study demonstrates the collapse of coalitions in microbial ecosystems

Government coalitions often dissolve when too many parties disagree on too many issues. Even if a coalition seems stable for some time, a small crisis can cause a chain reaction that eventually causes the system to collapse.

SARS-CoV-2 infection during late pregnancy can lead to severe inflammatory responses in the placenta

SARS-CoV-2 infections of women in late pregnancy frequently spread to their placentas and led to inflammation, according to a study from investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian.

Study evaluates diagnostic performance of two blood-based biomarkers specific to Alzheimer's disease

A simple blood test to diagnose Alzheimer's disease, perhaps even years before symptoms appear, is an exciting possibility, but a new study shows that much more research is needed before these blood tests are routinely used in the clinical diagnostic setting.
