Stimuli-Responsive Nanoparticles: Target Infections to Prevent Spread of Bacteria
Current WSU research shows stimuli-responsive nanoparticles can specifically target infections to simultaneously prevent the spread of bacteria and reduce the inflammation it causes.
Lung Cancer: Artificial intelligence Dtermines the Type
A new computer program can analyze images of patients' lung tumors, specify cancer types, and even identify altered genes driving abnormal cell growth, a new study shows.
Innovative Diagnostics to Curb Antimicrobial Resistance Developed
A £3 million interdisciplinary research project is to address the growing threat of drug-resistant infections in India. The project will develop innovative diagnostics to curb antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the biggest threats to global public health.
Concern for African Swine Fever Cases in Western Europe
Belgium confirmed that they have a case of African swine fever. This confirms that the infection has spread to the west of the EU.For several weeks now it has been a concern that African swine fever may affect the pigs in Western Europe. This would not mean that there could be import-bans on pigs and pig produces from the non-EU markets.
Carbon Nanodots: Effect of Ultrafine Pollution Particles on Lung Tissues Mimicked
Epidemiological studies have established a strong correlation between inhaling ultrafine particles from incomplete combustion and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Still, relatively little is known about the mechanisms behind how air particulates affect human health. New work with carbon nanodots seeks to provide the first model of how ultrafine carbon-based particles interact with the lung tissues.
Chronic Cases of PKDL in Africa, Ongoing Clinical Trials for Treatment
A clinical trial to find a better treatment for severe or chronic cases of post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) in Africa has begun in Dooka, Sudan. The objective of this clinical trial, which is being conducted by the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi), is to shorten the length of hospitalization for PKDL and deliver a treatment that is safer to use and easier to administer.
Pathogens More Susceptible to Antibiotics, Mechanism Uncovered
Scientists at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) have identified new means of fighting drug-tolerant bacteria, a growing global threat as menacing as drug-resistant microbes. Little is known about the mechanisms leading to tolerance, a strategy that makes bacteria "indifferent" to antibiotics and almost "un-killable," which results in chronic infections extremely difficult to treat and cure.
Opioid users could benefit from meth-relapse prevention strategy, study finds
New research raises the possibility that a wider group of people battling substance use disorders may benefit from a relapse-prevention compound than previously thought.
Role of Viral Protein in Spread of Deadly Infection by Nipah and Hendra Viruses
Researchers have identified how a viral protein, which plays a major role in causing deadly Nipah and Hendra virus infections, targets a critical function in human cells to suppress immune responses and promote fatal disease.
Logos Biosystems Releases New Electrophoretic Tissue Clearing System
Logos Biosystems has released the latest system for electrophoretic tissue clearing, the X-CLARITY™ Tissue Clearing System II. The new system has been upgraded with new features that make it streamlined, easier to use and more intuitive.
New Hope for Anti-HIV Vaccine, Researchers Say
A study led by the University of Zurich and University Hospital Zurich has found that the genome of HIV influences how the immune system responds to the infection.
