New findings provide a blueprint for how to optimize the design of motors at the nanoscale — hundreds of times smaller than the typical human cell.

Continue Reading →Scientists have just shown that a metabolic pathway plays a determining role in Alzheimer’s disease’s memory problems. This work also shows that supplying a specific amino acid as a nutritional supplement in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s restores spatial memory affected early. This is a promising path for reducing memory loss related to that disease. […]

Continue Reading →Researchers found that post-stroke patients re-grow a healthy microbiota in their mouth and gut when they revert to normal food intake from tube feeding. These results emphasize the need to actively normalize feeding in these patients, not only to minimize the risks of tube feeding, but also because oral feeding significantly alters the microbiome of […]
Continue Reading →Opioid-containing painkillers have severe side effects and have also been associated with extensive misuse, particularly in the United States. Recent findings represent a significant step towards the development of a new generation of painkillers. Their findings show that tissue acidity – or tissue pH – at the source of the pain (i.e. injury) is a […]

Continue Reading →Most people know that good oral hygiene – brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits – is linked to good health. Microbiome researchers offer fresh evidence to support that conventional wisdom, by taking a close look at invisible communities of microbes that live in every mouth. Their study found a correlation between people who did not […]
