Eating flowers to promote health and prevent disease

Do people eat flowers? Yes, many of them. Experts say that the Greeks, Romans, and French during the Middle Ages and the English during the Victorian era included edible flowers in their cuisine, either as appetizers or to enhance the flavor of the dish.

Gut-dwelling bacteria can promote the desire to exercise, study shows

Some species of gut-dwelling bacteria activate nerves in the gut to promote the desire to exercise, according to a study in mice that was led by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

How is the host’s m6A mRNA profile affected during SARS-CoV-2 infection?

Researchers observed that SARS-CoV-2 infection results in loss of N6-methyladenosine modification in cellular RNAs.

What is the role of the pediatric gut microbiome in COVID-19?

Recently, scientists have reviewed the available evidence on the gut microbiome in children with COVID-19 and published it in Microorganisms.

Research maps the evolution and natural selection of E. coli bacteria

Antibiotic resistance, when infection-causing bacteria evolve so they are no longer affected by typical antibiotics, is a global concern.

Strong connection between inflammatory bowel disease and periodontitis

Inflammatory bowel disease often coexists with periodontal disease. This is shown by new publications from a European research project that explored the connection between the two diseases.

Specific bacteria in the bladder may indicate who is more prone to recurrent UTIs

Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have identified specific bacteria in the bladder that may indicate which postmenopausal women are more susceptible to recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), and they found that estrogen may play a role in reducing that susceptibility.

Overview of current methods, technologies, and applications in the molecular diagnosis of mpox

Researchers provided an overview of existing molecular methods for mpox virus detection.

Nanomaterial can indirectly affect the immune system via the gut microbiome, study shows

The nanomaterial graphene oxide - which is used in everything from electronics to sensors for biomolecules - can indirectly affect the immune system via the gut microbiome, as shown in a new study on zebrafish by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden.

Antibody discovery could explain why so many group A strep vaccines have failed

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered an antibody with the potential to protect against Strep A infection, as well as a rare form of antibody binding, that leads to an effective immune response against bacteria.

Improved early detection and analysis of airborne pathogens with new liquid-coated air filters

Researchers from the University of Maine and University of Massachusetts Amherst have designed new liquid-coated air filters that allow for improved early detection and analysis of airborne bacteria and viruses, including the one that causes COVID-19.

Co-infecting pathogens and the microbiome from SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative samples

Researchers evaluated co-infections in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients.

How two structurally different lemon pectins modulate the gut microbiota

A diet containing fruits and vegetables contains pectins (plant polysaccharides). Pectin cannot be metabolized by mammalian cells in the gastrointestinal tract but is fermented by the gut microbiota in the colon, where short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are released. Previous studies have examined pectin's prebiotic properties.
