CSU is associated with gut microbiota, with metabolic pathways potentially mediating this link, suggesting new research directions. Accurate CSU diagnosis is difficult due to symptom overlap with ...

Scientists have discovered that erucamide, a plant-produced fatty acid amide, disrupts the function of the bacterial injectosome—a syringe-like nanomachine that some pathogenic bacteria use to help ...

The widely used chemotherapy drug paclitaxel, commonly known as Taxol, was first extracted from the Pacific yew tree in 1963. But while plants have figured out how to manufacture the molecule, for ...

Tiny magnetic bots that are activated by light can clear bacterial infections deep in the sinus cavities, then be expelled by blowing out the nose. Sinusitis is a common respiratory condition often ...

Bacterial vaginosis affects one third of reproductive-aged women, and recurrence is common. Evidence of sexual exchange of bacterial vaginosis–associated organisms between partners suggests that ...

In a study published in Advanced Materials, a research team developed an innovative bacterial cellulose (BC)-based hemostatic dressing that enables rapid and sustained bleeding control. Burn injuries ...
