Melting Bacteria to Break Down Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic Resistance is the reason due to which bacteria are spreading worldwide without any control which lead to a strong need for creating new technologies which can help to study bacteria. A new research done by EMBL researchers studied the melting protein behavior in the bacteria using existing techniques which is thermal proteome profiling. Thermal protein profiling (TPP) is used to compare…

Destroy The Tumor By Starving the Tumor
A new study led by the research group of Kivanç Birsoy, head of the Laboratory of Metabolic Regulation and Genetics at The Rockefeller University found a new way to stop tumor growth. When tumor cells start growing, they multiply infinitely and rapidly due to which the need of oxygen increases and oxygen supply gets scarce due to which cells start suffocating. Moreover, these…

Cells Trapping Viruses in Their Protein Cage
A recent report by the researcher of The Francis Crick Institute in London unearth that proliferation of the virus from cell to cell can be stopped by trapping the viruses in a protein cage by the cell. Journal of cell biology has published the article recently which unveils that the additional protein of vaccinia virus can escape the trap by…

Study Found Bacteriophage as a Promising Alternative to Antibiotics
Antibiotic resistance has become a major problem worldwide due to overuse and overdose of antibiotics. Resistant microbes are more difficult to treat, and requires substitute medications or higher doses of antimicrobials. A new clinical study done by the researchers suggests that bacteriophages are tolerable and safe to eliminate disease-causing bacteria in the gut. This new treatment is an alternative to antibiotic…

Virus Gene Helping Bacteria to Survive in Absence of Essential Gene
A new research led by the team of researchers from Uppsala University, Sweden have found that the bacteriophage which is a virus and infects bacteria also helps bacteria to develop new function by revealing the undiscovered potential of their bacterial host. This new discovery also has solved the mystery of evolutionary biology i.e. how new function arises which means how…

Do you know your Toothpaste can Fight Severe Lung Disease?
Yes, it is true!! A new study done by the researchers of Michigan University have found that a substance called triclosan which is present in toothpaste can fight disease like cystic fibrosis when this substance is combined with already approved FDA drug. Triclosan inhibits the growth of bacteria which when combined with tobramycin, an antibiotic leads to the destruction of…

Pseudomonas Communicate in Groups to Escape from Antibiotics
A new study led by the team of scientists from the University of Notre Dame and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has found a new defense mechanism used by the bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa to communicate in groups to avoid antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogen causing diseases like pneumonia, sepsis and other infections. On an encounter with antibiotics, pathogen produces a…
