The arms race in nature, usually a battle between predator and prey, is one of the most fascinating phenomena in evolutionary biology. But one arms race that isn’t looking too good for humans is the tussle between bacteria and the antibiotics we have t… Continue reading This drug can give us an edge in the bacteria-antibiotics arms race
In a world first, scientists from 24 countries have mapped the DNA of more than 233 different primate species, more than quadrupling the existing genetic data, providing crucial new insights into disease-causing genetic mutations in humans.Continue Rea… Continue reading Primate AI provides breakthrough in predicting human diseases
Instead of injections or pills, why not engineer bacteria to secrete therapeutic molecules from within our gut? A new study is demonstrating this futuristic idea, showing how a genetically modified probiotic can produce an experimental anti-inflammator… Continue reading Bacteria engineered to secrete rheumatoid arthritis drug in the body
Scientists studying the activity of a drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis have discovered it has some surprising functions, some of which may be useful when it comes to countering diabetes. The research, carried out on mouse models, shows how the c… Continue reading Arthritis drug boosts fat-signaling and counters diabetes in obese mice
Scientists have identified two molecules that could help treat leukemia, in a way that’s far less damaging to healthy cells than existing chemotherapy. The compounds work using a different mechanism that’s more selective for cancerous cells, and import… Continue reading New class of drug could treat leukemia with fewer side effects
Though we understand exercise to be good for our wellbeing, there is a lot still to learn about the complex and varied ways physical activity drives positive health outcomes in humans. Scientists digging into the molecular details of this relationship … Continue reading “Anti-hunger” molecule found to promote weight loss after exercise
Scientists studying the intricate mechanics behind the human aging process have made a discovery that could lead to improved health later in life. The breakthrough comes courtesy of a common model in anti-aging research in the form of C. elegans roundw… Continue reading Anti-aging breakthrough dials up fatty acid signaling to boost longevity

When it comes to the different ways of exercising the human body, walking is about as accessible as they come, and new research suggests it could be a powerful way to tackle osteoarthritis in the knees. A study examined the benefits of a regular saunte… Continue reading Walking found to reduce pain and slow damage in arthritic knees
A new COVID-19 vaccine, developed by researchers from the Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, is being offered patent-free to vaccine manufacturers across the world. Human trials have shown the vaccine to be safe and effective, wi… Continue reading New patent-free COVID vaccine developed as “gift to the world”
