bZIP transcription factor AflHapX coordinates iron homeostasis and aflatoxin biosynthesis in Aspergillus flavus

2026-09-07T10:22:00+01:00

Researchers have identified the bZIP transcription factor AflHapX in Aspergillus flavus by searching its genome with the HapX protein sequence from Aspergillus fumigatus.  They discovered that AflHapX is critical for A. flavus’s adaptive response to both iron excess and iron starvation.

MXene-based hydrogel disrupt bacterial biofilms and reprogram immune cell metabolism to reverse bone resorption in periodontitis

2026-09-07T10:03:00+01:00

Researchers have developed an injectable MXene-based composite hydrogel (GQM) for the treatment of periodontitis. The hydrogel consists of oxidized gellan gum (OG), quaternized chitosan (QCS), and magnesium-tannic acid modified MXene nanosheets (MTA-Mg).

Study sheds light on how bacteria assemble outer membrane proteins

2026-09-07T09:45:00+01:00

Researchers analyzed the various conformations that a chaperone protein adopts while delivering unfolded outer membrane proteins to the assembly machinery.

The body doesn’t just absorb a plant-based diet—it adapts to one, new review finds

2026-09-07T09:32:00+01:00

A new review of plant-based diets concludes that the body actively adapts to sustained dietary change, absorbing iron more efficiently, synthesizing more of its own creatine and carnosine, using protein more economically, and remodeling gut bacteria to better ferment fiber.

Micro-bladder model offers clues to stopping recurrent UTIs

2026-09-07T08:54:00+01:00

A new study shows that phage therapy – the use of tiny viruses to kill bacteria without harming people – could help to reduce recurrent infections, which happen when the bacteria responsible for UTIs ‘hide’ in the tissue of the bladder.
