Viruses in the Gut Have a Genetic Way to Fight Bacteria, Potentially Helping to Deal with Superbugs
1+ hour, 20+ min ago (622+ words) JAKARTA - A number of viruses that live in the human gut are able to produce genetic variations quickly to evade bacterial defenses. This finding has the potential to help develop alternative therapies when antibiotics are no longer effective. Euronews quoted…...
KIST team uses gut microbiota to control cancer cachexia in mice
8+ hour, 19+ min ago (261+ words) A Korean research team has, for the first time in the world, identified the mechanism by which gut microbiota improve “cancer cachexia,” a condition in which cancer patients experience rapid loss of body weight and muscle mass. Cancer cachexia is…...
Arkansas researchers look at “genetic neighborhoods” to find pathogenic bacteria
3+ hour, 19+ min ago (909+ words) Using machine learning, scientists with the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station have developed a novel early-warning detection method for Enterococcus cecorum, a poultry pathogen that can cause bone infections and lameness. FAYETTEVILLE — When it comes to identifying harmful bacteria, it helps…...
We tend to picture glaciers as slow rivers of white ice, but the Blood Falls that leak from Antarctica's Taylor Glacier run a deep rust red, fed by a briny lake sealed under the ice for roughly 1.5 million years that hosts microbes living without sunlight or oxygen
3+ hour, 20+ min ago (1013+ words) Blood Falls, the rust-red outflow at the terminus of Antarctica's Taylor Glacier, is fed by a briny reservoir sealed under the ice for at least a million years. A new Nature Geoscience study finds an active community of marine-associated microbes…...
Treating Cancer Cachexia, a Dangerous Complication for Cancer Patients, via Gut Microbiome Regulation
6+ hour, 19+ min ago (407+ words) ▲ Mechanism for overcoming cancer cachexia based on natural product compounds and beneficial bacteria A technology has been introduced to alleviate cancer cachexia—a complication characterized by rapid weight and muscle loss in cancer patients—using natural products and gut microbiota....
Study finds droughts change how infectious diseases spread
23+ hour, 33+ min ago (855+ words) Drought is reshaping how infectious diseases spread, warns a new study. Sustained dry spells are seeing rivers and reservoirs dwindle as well as fueling wildfires and reshaping ecosystems across Europe and the United States. They are also changing the spread…...
Cancer Cachexia Robs Cancer Patients of Muscle... Clues to Treatment Found in the Gut Microbiome [Reading Science]
8+ hour, 19+ min ago (418+ words) Published 16 Aug.2026 12:00(KST) A new study has found that "cancer cachexia," which causes rapid weight and muscle loss in cancer patients, can be improved by regulating the gut microbiome. This presents a new treatment strategy that prevents muscle loss by…...
Gut viruses are evolving new tricks to beat bacteria — and could help fight superbugs
1+ day, 4+ hour ago (668+ words) Viruses that selectively target and kill bacteria — also known as bacteriophages or simply phages — infect bacteria but leave human cells alone. Once they attach to a bacterial cell, they inject their genetic material, hijack the cell's machinery and force it…...
Synthetic pyrenoid reconstruction reveals EPYC1-driven carbon concentration
15+ hour, 19+ min ago (345+ words) mechanisms and evolution Bioengineer.org The study, published in Nature Plants, shows how a single class of scaffold proteins can organize the carbon-fixing enzyme Rubisco into a dense, specialized compartment This reconstruction offers a rare view of the molecular forces…...
When gut microbes run low on fiber, they may start eating you
20+ hour, 48+ min ago (698+ words) "There's growing interest across medical disciplines in manipulating the human microbiome or using its metabolic products themselves for therapy," said Rabinowitz. "Diet holds great promise for controlling the microbiome and its outputs. But to devise effective therapeutic interventions, we need…...
