Microbiomes More in Flux in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are more likely to see dramatic shifts in the make-up of the community of microbes in their gut than healthy people, according to a study published online in Nature Microbiology.
New Clues about Ebola
A detailed analysis of blood samples from Ebola patients in Sierra Leone is providing clues about the progression of the effects of the virus and potential treatment pathways. The findings point to a critical role for a molecular pathway.
Bioinspired nanoscale drug delivery method developed by PNNL, WSU researchers
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Washington State University researchers have developed a novel way to deliver drugs and therapies into cells at the nanoscale without causing toxic effects that have stymied other such efforts.
When Kidney Failure Starts at the Heart
One of the most common and deadly complications from a heart attack is kidney failure. New research indicates that a specific protein in the bloodstream created after cardiac arrest may be the culprit...
How a Chemical Probe Can Show ‘Who’ is Responsible for ‘What’ in Our Gut Microbiome
Our gut’s microbial community is not unlike a country club membership. We know who’s a member, but we may not know how each contributes to the overall function or health of the club....
