Not just for the gut: Probiotics can destroy cancer cells and prevent their spread
The probiotic effects of metabolites produced by certain microbes have attracted scientific interest in recent years. Called bioactive postbiotic metabolites (PM), these compounds are said to promote gut health, relieve gastrointestinal disorders and enhance innate immunity. Some studies have reported the anti-cancer effects of different components of bacteria like Lactobacillus gasseri and L. crispatus. In […]

Can the flatcrown tree be the answer to Gram-negative superbugs?
Gram-negative bacteria, which are classified based on the color (red) they turn to after Gram staining, can be found everywhere, even in the human gut. Many known bacterial pathogens are Gram-negative, such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Chlamydia trachomatis and Vibrio cholerae. According to studies, Gram-negative bacteria are inherently resistant to macrolide antibiotics, which are widely used to […]

Researchers discover how to deactivate influenza protein that turns off innate immunity
Research on the influenza virus has come a long way. One of the most significant discoveries about the virus is the role of Non-Structural Protein 1 (NS1) in influenza virus A infection and pathogenesis. According to earlier studies, NS1 plays a critical role by antagonizing the host cell’s anti-viral response. But while scientists are familiar […]

New research reveals a way to stop Ebola virus from replicating
The Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a rare but highly contagious disease caused by Zaire ebolavirus, or simply the Ebola virus. Due to the high fatality rate associated with EVD, the Ebola virus is considered one of the scariest human pathogens today. Despite efforts to develop treatments, there is still no cure for EVD. But scientists […]

Researchers are looking to peptides to combat drug-resistant microbes
Anti-microbial resistance can be defined as the ability of microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, fungi and viruses) to change upon exposure to an anti-microbial component and reduce its effectiveness. The World Health Organization (WHO) has labeled the spread of anti-microbial resistance as a global health concern because it threatens the ability of humans to treat common infectious […]
