Sweden’s probiotics firm Probi continues its collaborative mood by striking an agreement with an Australian-based university to pursue further insights into how probiotics promote bone health.
The agreement with Melbourne-based La Trobe University reiterates Probi’s efforts into what influences bone strength, particularly in later years and where the gut microbiome fits into bone metabolism, microarchitecture and density.
“Recent scientific evidence has consistently highlighted the important role of the gut microbiome on bone health,” explains research group leader Dr George Moschonis at La Trobe University,
“Considering these breakthrough discoveries, we are excited to contribute our strengths into further extending the current knowledge and produce additional high-quality research evidence that will shed more light on the effectiveness of probiotics in the reduction of bone loss,” adds Dr Moschonis, an Associate Professor at the univ

SYDNEY, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) Australian researchers discovered a new way to analyze microscopic cells, tissues and other transparent specimens through the improvement of an almost 100-year-old imaging technique.
Phase contrast microscopy, first invented in 1934 by Nobel-prize winning physicist Frits Zernike, is an optical technique that can be utilized to produce high-contrast images of transparent specimens, also a technique commonly used by scientists to study biological specimens.
The researchers used custom-designed nanomaterials to enhance the sensitivity of phase contrast microscopy, which allows scientists to detect minute changes in the composition or structure of transparent or nano-thin objects, enabling their key features and structures to be visible when put under a microscope.
