Antibiotics could trigger immune response through gut microbiome metabolites
Researchers report how one of the most abundant gut bacteria responds to tetracyclines, a class of commonly prescribed antibiotics. Newly characterized signals released by the bacterium could aid the host’s immune response, inhibit pathogens and restructure the gut microbiome.
Fish freshness easily monitored with a new sensor
Researchers have developed a simple, effective electronic device that quickly measures a compound that forms when decomposition starts. The prototype sensor can determine how fresh a fish is in less than two minutes.
Algae show how to make two proteins from one messenger RNA
Scientists have uncovered a hidden feature of protein translation in green algae, offering a new perspective on the basic rules of gene expression.
Light-sensitive microbial protein may herald new cancer therapies
Researchers used a mouse cancer model to show that tumors expressing Archaerhodopsin 3 shrink after exposure to green light.
Study links childhood vaccination to lower risk of drug-resistant bacteria
Children in Guatemala who received a common vaccine that helps prevent pneumonia were less likely to carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to a new study examining whether rotavirus (RV) and pneumococcal (PCV13) vaccines reduce gut colonization by a group of bacteria.
Black carbon from wheat straw burning shown to curb antibiotic resistance spread in farmlands with plastic mulch residues
A new study reveals that black carbon formed during wheat straw burning can significantly reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in soil and soybean crops, offering a promising strategy for safer and more sustainable farming in regions burdened by plastic mulch debris.
