Researchers discover cytoskeleton acts as cells' bouncer for bacteria
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.a.) are resistant to most antibiotics and cause life-threatening infections of wounds or the lungs. The P.a. bacteria species has an entire arsenal of strategies for evading the immune system and infecting tissue. Researchers working with Prof. Dr. Winfried Romer an

Study finds that carbs, sugary foods may influence poor oral health
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
The foods we eat on a regular basis influence the makeup of the bacteria -- both good and bad -- in our mouths. And researchers are finding that this collective of bacteria known as the oral microbiome likely plays a large role in our overall health, in addition to its previously known assoc

Study explains why adults' hearts don't regenerate
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
As heart cells mature in mice, the number of communication pathways called nuclear pores dramatically decreases, according to new research from University of Pittsburgh and UPMC scientists. While this might protect the organ from damaging signals, it could also prevent adult heart cells from

Immune molecule's complex role in Huntington's disease: Study
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
More than a decade before people with Huntington's disease show symptoms, they can exhibit abnormally high levels of an immune-system molecule called interleukin-6 (IL-6), which has led many researchers to suspect IL-6 of promoting the eventual neurological devastation associated with the ge

Researchers seek to understand why vaccine responses vary from person to p
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
While vaccines are one of the most powerful public health tools for protecting against infectious disease, not everybody is conferred the same level of protection. Many factors determine whether an individual responding to vaccination will generate an effective response, including specific b
