FEATURED STORY
Study Suggests Way to Reverse Antibiotic-caused Harm to Infant Immune Systems A new study shows that ciprofloxacin, a staple treatment for urinary tract infections, throws Escherichia coli (E. coli) into an energy crisis that saves many cells from death and speeds the evolution of full-blown resistance. People 55 and older who exhibit signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease can now receive the test, which is more than 90% accurate in diagnosing the disease, through a blood draw ordered by their physician. Biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying the gene combinations underlying complex illnesses like diabetes, cancer and asthma. Using proteomic data from over 53,000 UK Biobank participants, the research team identified a panel of proteins that collectively signal a person’s biological health. A study to look at why long-lived bats do not get cancer has broken new ground about the biological defenses that resist the disease. Researchers have developed a method to capture carbon dioxide and turn it into metal oxalates, which then can be used as precursors for cement production. Coming off the worst flu season in nearly two decades, an internation cohort of leading researchers have shown that person-to-person variation in antibody immunity plays a key role in shaping which flu strains dominate in a population. |
