NewsInnovative culture method aerates microbes in static liquid medium without shaking
Culturing is a basic yet indispensable method in microbiology research. Microorganisms are often cultured in a liquid medium that provides essential nutrients, and this process is both simple and highly effective. Source: Prof. Motomu Akita from Kindai University Kindai university researchers devise a new method of culturing microorganisms ...

NewsSARS-CoV-2 ‘steals’ our proteins to protect itself from the immune system
Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna and the Medical University of Innsbruck discovered that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks three important host proteins that dampen the activity of the complement system, a key component of early antiviral immunity. This significantly impairs viral clearance which may affect the course of ...

NewsFaster measurement of response to antibiotic treatment in sepsis patients using Dimeric HNL
The biomarker human neutrophil lipocalin HNL, which was previously shown to be a useful indicator of bacterial infections, may also in the form of Dimeric HNL be used to effectively monitor the success of antibiotic treatment in sepsis.

NewsGut microbiome changes linked to onset of clinically evident rheumatoid arthritis
Changes in the make-up of the gut microbiome are linked to the onset of clinically evident rheumatoid arthritis in those at risk of the disease because of genetic, environmental, or immunological factors, suggests a new study.

NewsNew study traces impact of COVID-19 pandemic on global movement and evolution of seasonal flu
Seasonal flu showed a ‘remarkable’ bounce back to pre-pandemic levels once international air travel resumed, according to a new study. Regions with fewer COVID-19 restrictions were associated with sustained flu virus transmission.
