Have you ever thought about how some plants could help fight tough bacteria? Scientists have been looking into this, and one plant that's showing promise is Eucalyptus camaldulensis. They tested its methanolic extract against some nasty bacteria like E. coli, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aure
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is becoming more common and deadly around the world. One of the biggest issues with treating advanced CRC with radiotherapy is that cancer cells can become resistant to radiation, leading to the cancer coming back or spreading. Scientists are trying to figure out how cancer c
Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern for livestock industries worldwide, and beef farming is no exception. When it comes to beef production and consumption, few countries can match Argentina.

Seagrass meadows play a big role in keeping our oceans healthy. They provide homes for many sea creatures and help keep our water clean. But climate change is making things tough for these underwater plants, especially with those sudden heatwaves in the ocean, called marine heatwaves. Scientists are
Designing proteins that are both stable and effective can be a real challenge for scientists. But what if AI could step in and simplify this task? Introducing PRIME, an AI model that harnesses temperature to predict optimal protein modifications. During testing with a variety of proteins, PRIME out
Ever wondered how our gut keeps working smoothly throughout life? The enteric nervous system (ENS) is like the brain of the gut, controlling its movements. But this system faces constant challenges and might lose some nerve cells (apoptosis) along the way. Scientists think new nerve cells (neurogene
Ever wondered which U. S. states are doing the best and the worst when it comes to health? A recent look at data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has some interesting findings. At the top of the unhealthy list is Mississippi. It's
Lichens, those fascinating plants that grow on rocks and trees, have been around for a long time. Scientists first took notice of them in the 1870s and found that they produce special substances that can affect bacteria and fungi. More recently, we've discovered that lichens have a whole community o
