NewsResearchers discover protein necessary for SARS-CoV-2 to evade the body’s defenses
Researchers have identified a protein that plays a key role in helping SARS-CoV-2 hide from the body’s defenses by suppressing the production of viral double-stranded (dsRNA), leading to increased viral replication while limiting the body’s immune response.

NewsEvolutionary model for antibiotic resistance reveals dose timing critical to care
The study that uses a “fitness seascape” to incorporate a patient’s dosage schedule into models that predict whether an infection will develop antibiotic resistance has found that inconsistent timing and missing early doses can lead to treatment failure.

NewsOxymatrine, a quinoline alkaloid derived from Sophora flavescens, inhibits the Malassezia biofilm
Oxymatrine not only controls Malassezia overgrowth but also manages psoriasis symptoms, offering a dual-action mechanism for safer and more effective therapy, a new study shows.

NewsScientists develop a treatment platform to disable the ‘biofilm’ shield of superbugs
Researchers have developed a platform that utilizes microbubbles to deliver gene-targeted nanoparticles capable of breaking down MRSA biofilms, offering an innovative solution for treating infections resistant to conventional antibiotics.

NewsResearchers identify new llama-derived antibodies against current and future coronaviruses
Scientists have discovered a unique class of small antibodies that are strongly protective against a wide range of SARS coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-1 and numerous early and recent SARS-CoV-2 variants.

NewsGeneXpert MTB/RIF technology can distinguish non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection
Xpert Mycobacterium tuberculosis/rifampicin (Xpert MTB/RIF) in alveolar lavage fluid can not only detect rifampicin resistance but also distinguish pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) from non-tuberculosis mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease.

NewsCan a psychedelic compound from mushrooms benefit people with cancer and major depression?
New results from a clinical trial reveal that a single dose of psilocybin—a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in mushrooms—can provide sustained reductions in depression and anxiety in individuals with cancer suffering from major depressive disorder.

NewsVaccinated patients hospitalized with COVID-linked acute kidney injury less likely to need dialysis after discharge
Vaccinated patients hospitalized with COVID-19 who developed acute kidney injury had better outcomes than unvaccinated patients with the same condition, new research suggests. The study found vaccinated patients were less likely to stay on dialysis after discharge, and more likely to survive, than unvaccinated patients.

News Ribosome profiling identifies thousands of new viral protein-coding sequences
With the help of a technique called Massively Parallel Ribosome Profiling (MPRP), scientists have identified more than 4000 open reading frames (ORFs) across 679 human-associated viral genomes.

NewsWhen bacteria get hungry, they kill – and eat – their neighbors
Scientists have discovered a gruesome microbial survival strategy: when food is scarce, some bacteria kill and consume their neighbors. The researchers show that under nutrient-limited conditions, bacteria use a specialized weapon — the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) — to attack, kill, and slowly absorb nutrients from other bacterial cells.

NewsIs your gut microbiome a calorie ‘super harvester’?
A little-known microbe makes methane in your gut — and may help you get more calories from food, according to a new study. Researchers found that people whose gut microbiomes produce a lot of methane are especially good at unlocking extra energy from a high-fiber diet.
