Thanks to a novel tool that detects bacteria in saliva using SHERLOCK, the evolution of CRISPR, you may soon be able to leave the dentist after a checkup with more comprehensive information about the health of your mouth. The accurate tool is much fast… Continue reading Fighting oral bacteria is elementary with SHERLOCK-based detection tool
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is responsible for around one-third of all deaths worldwide. A new longitudinal study has investigated the link between a commonly occurring oral bacteria and CHD, improving our understanding of how infection affects the de… Continue reading Link found between common mouth bacteria and heart disease
The neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer’s disease can often take 10 or 20 years before clinical signs of cognitive decline become apparent.
