The bacteria in the intestine provide information on the amounts of fungi from the possibly pathogenic Candida genus. Surprisingly, among them are lactic acid bacteria, which are known for their ability to guard against fungal diseases. Researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Natural Prod
Cancer is still one of the major causes of mortality in the globe. Researchers are continually exploring for novel medicines that have better anticancer efficacy, less side effects, and are less expensive. The capacity of certain bacteria to selectively grow inside hypoxic tumours, i.e., cel
A new study by UCL researchers reveals that conditions including celiac disease and Parkinson's disease could be recognised up to ten years sooner than they are now.
Up to 95 per cent of patients receiving radiation therapy for cancer experience acute radiation dermatitis (ARD), which is characterised by red, painful, itchy, or peeling skin. Although little is known about why this condition develops and no standardised treatments for preventing severe AR
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis believe that dangerous bacterial bloodstream infections in preemies may have their roots in the infants' gut microbiomes. These infections are a serious issue because, after 72 hours of life, at least one episode of the pot
A genetic variation uncovered by Cedars-Sinai researchers increases the likelihood of getting perianal Crohn's disease, the most devastating type of Crohn's disease.
ccording to Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology researchers, gut bacteria that break down a sugar called fucose may be suppressing our immune response to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (OIST).
Cedars-Sinai researchers discovered a genetic variant that increases the risk of developing perianal Crohn's disease, the most debilitating form of Crohn's disease.
A new discovery by the University of Warwick researchers may help prevent bacteria from becoming contaminated with viruses, reducing disruption and costs in industry and research.
Patients with gum disease are less likely to respond to rheumatoid arthritis treatments, according to a well-documented medical mystery. However, new research may help explain the connection between gum disease and an otherwise disparate condition.
The use of antibiotics can be beneficial in treating bacterial infections, but they can also destroy the beneficial microorganisms that are found in the gut, which can have long-term health effects.
