University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered how Lactobacillus, a bacterium found in fermented foods and yogurt, helps the body manage stress and may help prevent depression and anxiety. The findings open the door to new therapies to treat anxiety, depression and other mental-health conditions.
InnerPlant, the seed technology company enabling the earliest possible detection of stress in crops to make farming more efficient and sustainable, and GROWMARK, an agricultural cooperative serving almost 400,000 customers across North America, today announce the launch of a sentinel project featuring InnerSoy, a soybean engineered to signal optically when under attack by fungi., , , , The program will see GROWMARK establish small plots of InnerSoy throughout the Midwest in 2024 with an expa.
Researchers from Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized-Medicine (CAMP) Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG) at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT's research enterprise in Singapore, in collaboration with Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have developed a novel method capable of identifying contaminants in T-cell cultures within 24 hours.
Researchers employed advanced techniques like gene annotation, pangenomics, and machine learning to identify over 900 genes responsible for antimicrobial resistance in 12 bacterial species, outperforming traditional identification methods. This breakthrough approach offers new insights into the genetic basis of resistance, potentially guiding the development of more effective antibiotics
We’ve all heard of antibiotic resistance. The same thing is happening with other causes of infections in humans: fungi, viruses and parasites. This is making thrush and other infections hard to treat.
