Experts from the UK and Singapore have succeeded in engineering common baker's yeast so that a primary ingredient for the treatment of dementia can be produced. By making some changes in the genome of yeast, researchers succeeded in changing the fungi into bio-factories so that a chemical compound known as D-lysergic acid (DLA) can be produced.

According to the researchers, the finding would assist food facilities in identifying new development niches that might have been ignored previously, thus enhancing food safety.
New Listeria Species

Catharine R. Carlin, a doctoral student in food science, said, This study expands the set of listeria organisms controlled in food processing settings. Expanding the awareness base to consider the diversity of listeria would save the agricultural food industry time and money by preventing infection, explaining false positives, and preventing foodborne outbreaks.
L. immobilis, one of the new species, lacked motility or the ability to run. Listeria is a fast-moving organism. The motility of listeria closely related to L. monocytogenes, a well-known foodborne pathogen, was believed to be widespread among scientists, and it was used as a central measure in listeria detection methods. According to Carli

Even though established parasites inside the red blood cells are extinct, the fatality rate is due to ongoing cyto-adhesion to infected erythrocytes.
New avenues are desperately needed as malaria vaccines have shown to be less than moderately successful and to treat these serious cases of P. falciparum malaria.
The latest figures suggest that more than 500 million malaria cases and more than 400,000 deaths are recorded annually worldwide. The secret to dramatically enhancing survival rates could be anti-adhesion medications.
Medical Study
A first-of-its-kind study by Florida Atlantic University s Schmidt College of Medicine in conjunction with FAU s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and the Division of Chemical Sciences, National Institute of Standards and Technology, United States Department of Commerce, indicates that these conotoxins could theoretically cure malaria using venom from the Conus nux, a species of sea snail.
