NewsMalaria causes permanent damage to phagocytes in the spleen
A new study has shown that recruited macrophages are only capable of replacing resident ones to a limited extent during malarial infection.

NewsImbalances in the oral microbiome linked to symptomatic hand osteoarthritis
Specific imbalances and disruptions to the oral microbiome have been linked to symptomatic hand arthritis. Study findings suggest that the microbial environment of the mouth may influence the disease process of hand arthritis.

NewsBiofilm “scaffolds” protect bacterium responsible for food poisoning from antibiotics
Bacillus cereus, which is responsible for human infections and food poisoning, builds organized communities that act as a ‘shield’ against antibiotics, a new study reveals.

NewsRight versus left: Colorectal cancer’s two microbial worlds
New research reveals that the mucosal microbiome varies dramatically depending on whether a tumor arises on the right or left side of the colorectum, suggesting that the microbial environment surrounding tumors may be as geographically distinct as the tumors themselves.

NewsDiscovery of severe pneumonia subtypes could lead to tailored treatments for life-threating disease
New research shows that severe pneumonia has three different subtypes, helping explain why some patients in intensive care units (ICUs) recover quickly, while for other patients the disease can be life-threatening.

NewsHow H5N1 bird flu hid unrecognized for weeks in dairy cattle
A new study reveals why H5N1 influenza infection looked so different in dairy cows, offering a framework for spotting new host species quickly. Instead of affecting the lungs, it caused severe infection in the cows’ udders, largely sparing the lungs.

NewsAkkermansia muciniphila PROBIO therapy promotes arginine biosynthesis and reverses reproductive impairments in polycystic ovary syndrome rats
A research study investigated the therapeutic potential of Akkermansia muciniphila PROBIO (AP) in a dehydroepiandrosterone-induced PCOS rat model, revealing significant improvements in reproductive and metabolic parameters through modulation of gut microbiota and enhancement of arginine biosynthesis.
-
NewsBiomarkers indicating higher liver cancer risk in chronic hepatitis B patients identified
Researchers have identified Hepatitis B RNA serum levels as a biomarker that more accurately stratifies risk of liver cancer in individuals who have been functionally cured of chronic hepatitis B.
-
NewsScientists develop new gut health measure that tracks disease
Scientists have found that healthy and diseased digestive systems behave like two distinct ecological states, driven not by individual microbes but by how entire bacterial communities compete and cooperate.
-
NewsUrinary tract infections can trigger delirium and worsen dementia
Urinary tract infections can pose serious risks for older adults, particularly those with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. In older patients, a common UTI can trigger delirium, a medical emergency marked by sudden confusion and altered awareness.
