Scientific research has always been about sharing knowledge. For centuries, researchers published their findings in journals, helping the scientific community grow. But after World War II, things changed. Publishers started making big profits from these journals. One name that often comes up in thi
In the world of gut health, tiny bacteria can make a big difference. One such bacteria, Lacticaseibacillus casei KGC1201, was found in Panax ginseng. Scientists wanted to see if this bacteria could help with colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel disease. They tested it on mice with colitis caused b
Autism is a complex condition. It affects how people think, behave, and interact with others. Scientists are now looking at the gut-brain connection. They believe it plays a big role in autism. The gut is home to trillions of tiny organisms. These are called microbes. In people with autism, these m
Robots like NEO have been laughed at online. They can't do simple jobs without help. People have shared videos of these robots failing at basic tasks. But, robots might still change how we live. Many countries have fewer babies than before. The U. S. saw the lowest number of babies last year. This
Mouth cancer is a big problem. It's not getting better. Smoking and drinking are big reasons. But now, scientists think tiny germs in our mouth might also play a role. Some bad germs, like Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis, can cause trouble. They can lead to cancer by causing in
In the world of tiny creatures, the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, has a clever way to protect itself from harmful microbes. It uses a special protein called CgC3 to tag and trap invaders. This protein can stick to various sugars and microbes, acting like a sticky note that marks the bad guys fo
In the quest to find natural remedies for type 2 diabetes, researchers have turned their attention to an unexpected source: pumpkins. Specifically, a component called pumpkin polysaccharide fraction 3 (PPS3) has shown promising results in mice with type 2 diabetes. This condition is known for its im
On some dairy farms in Western Australia, a silent struggle is taking place. It's not about milk production or pasture quality, but something much smaller and more sinister: drug-resistant bacteria. Scientists recently took a closer look at this issue by studying E. coli bacteria found in the feces
Obesity is not just about eating too much or not moving enough. It's a complex issue. Tiny creatures living in our gut, called gut microbiota, play a big part in this. These microbes help control how our body uses energy, fights off germs, and handles food. When these gut bugs are out of balance, i
In the world of healthcare, things are getting high-tech. Robots are becoming more common. But how do these machines fit into the bigger picture? A recent study looked at this. It focused on how leaders can make sure robots help hospitals be more eco-friendly. The study looked at three big things:
