How Gut Creates Cozy Home for Beneficial Microbiome Species
TEHRAN (ANA)- The digestive tract of fruit flies remodels itself to accommodate beneficial microbiome species and maintain long-term stability of the gut environment, according to new research led by Carnegie's William Ludington and Allan Spradling.
Injecting Bacteria into Tumors May Trigger Immune System to Attack Cancer
TEHRAN (ANA)- Introducing bacteria to a tumor microenvironment (TME) creates a state of acute inflammation that triggers the immune system's primary responder cells to attack the tumor, according to a study led by Australia's Garvan Institute of Medical Research.
Detecting Rapidly Mutating Bacteria, Viruses with AutoPLP
TEHRAN (ANA)- The microbes responsible for some infections can rapidly mutate into variants that evade detection and treatment and now, a newly developed procedure could help researchers from the American Chemical Society catch up to these sneaky pathogens.
New Generation of Iran-Made Medicinal Probiotic Products Capable of Improving Overall Health
TEHRAN (ANA)- Iranian researchers at a knowledge-based company produced a new generation of medicinal products based on probiotics to improve the whole body’s health.
Born Naturally or via Cesarean Section, Babies Receive Essential Microbes from Mother
TEHRAN (ANA)- Do cesarean-born babies miss out on essential microbes? New evidence in a study by the University of Edinburgh suggests that the answer may be 'no'.
Study: Underwater Bacteria Use Antennas to Harvest Solar Energy
TEHRAN (ANA)- A group of researchers from different world states have found that sunlight-harvesting bacteria underwater have a type of antenna that increases the energy supply to the cell.
Market Welcomes Iranian-Made Nanoparticles Antibacterial Pens, Sand Play
TEHRAN (ANA)- A group of researchers, whose antibacterial pens were warmly welcomed by the Iranian consumers, have used antibacterial nanoparticles in production of sand play for children.
Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Bacteria Produce Molecule Paralyzing Immune System Cells
TEHRAN (ANA)- In a joint project, researchers from the Universities of Freiburg and Strasbourg in France have discovered a mechanism that likely contributes to the severity of P. aeruginosa infections.
New Antibiotic Cures Superbugs without Bacterial Resistance
TEHRAN (ANA)- In a potential game changer for the treatment of superbugs, a new class of antibiotics was developed by the UC Santa Barbara researchers that cured mice infected with bacteria deemed nearly "untreatable" in humans -- and resistance to the drug was virtually undetectable.
Iranian Researchers Make Probiotic Yogurt Using Bacterial Yeast
TEHRAN (ANA)- Using a bacterial yeast, the Iranian researchers developed probiotic yogurt with the properties of increasing the shelf life of the product.
