If you suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a pill full of tiny algae robots may be just what you need. The bio-hybrid microrobots have already been shown to reduce symptoms and promote healing in IBD-afflicted lab mice.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Algae cells recruited to serve as bowel-disease-treating robots
Probiotic bacteria can’t help improve gut health if they don’t survive the trip to the intestines. Scientists have now kitted out good bugs with protective armor and backpacks loaded with molecules that can help them treat inflammatory bowel diseases (… Continue reading Nanoparticle backpacks help probiotics fight inflammatory bowel disease
Our immune system is the first line of defense against disease, but unfortunately it can go rogue and attack healthy tissues. Scientists at Johns Hopkins University have now engineered a protein that may help prevent these autoimmune diseases by boosti… Continue reading Engineered protein calms immune cells to prevent autoimmune diseases
