Featuring oversized models of glowing green bacteria, and in some places reeking of cheese and socks, the exhibit is on a mission to rehabilitate the reputation of microbes. "There has been a paradigm shift recently," says Rob DeSalle, cocurator of "The Secret World Inside You." "...
Recently, The Kavli Foundation brought together three researchers at the forefront of this emerging field to discuss the microbiome-brain connection and whether we can treat disorders of the brain through the gut. The participants were: Tracy Bale, a professor of neuroscience at the University of ...
To satisfy microbial nutritional fitness, the research team uses mineral mixtures that mimic the Martian regolith composition from different locations and historical periods of Mars: "JSC 1A" is mainly composed of palagonite – a rock that was created by lava; "P-MRS" is rich in hydrated phyll...
including supporting digestion and reducing pathogenic infections, but also contributing to some types of diseases. These microbes may also be a source for new antibiotics. For example, researchers recently identified a new antibioticfrom a bacterium found in the human...
Did Jesus ever call children “murderers” as you did recently in Texas? In fact I dare say that you and people who subscribe to your cultist hatefulness are a cancer upon the conscience of Christ. So you hate us because of the 9/11 events. Well 99% of Muslims condemned in the stron...

The immune system is more powerful than you probably imagine. Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania recently took immune cells from three patients with leukemia (白血病), then genetically changed them into “serial killer” cells to attack cancer cells. The study was small but the results...
Food advocacy group The Good Food Institute recently named “fermentation” as a third pillar, next to plant-based and cell-based, in the animal alternatives industry, and its picking up steam. In July, California-based startupPerfect Day—which uses microbial fermentation to ...
"The microbial stopwatch, as it has been recently called, is a telling timepiece that can assist us in determining when someone died," said Eric Benbow, MSU forensic entomologist and microbial ecologist and study co-author. "It's comparable to a town with a changingpopulation: a company star...
(Phys.org)—A small team of researchers working in Greenland has found that as microbes become active in permafrost, they produce heat, which can increase the rate of permafrost loss. In their paper published in Nature Climate Change, the researchers, af
