Magnetotactic bacteria project aims to develop living cancer ‘magnetobots’
2+ hour, 1+ min ago (485+ words) Aston University is leading a €1.2m international research project to investigate whether naturally magnetic bacteria can be harnessed to deliver targeted cancer therapies. Funded through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Staff Exchanges programme, the MagBIO project brings together 18 partner organisations from…...
Japanese Find Frog Bacteria That Wipes Out Cancer Tumors With a Single Dose
2+ hour, 39+ min ago (351+ words) Japanese scientists have discovered a naturally-occurring bacteria in a frog species with remarkably-potent anticancer activity—in fact, it destroyed cancer tumors in one dose. Led by Professor Eijiro Miyako, the team at Japan’s Advanced Institute of Science and Technology discovered…...
Bacteria identified rapidly using new robotic sensing platform
10+ hour, 34+ min ago (294+ words) Rapid identification of bacteria is important in healthcare, food safety, environmental monitoring, and infection control. A common initial step is Gram classification, which divides bacteria into Gram-positive and Gram-negative groups. This helps inform early treatment and safety measures. However, traditional…...
The human gut replaces its entire lining every 4 to 5 days, and the stem cells at the base of each intestinal crypt divide faster than almost any other tissue in the body
13+ hour, 33+ min ago (601+ words) Those crypts are the engine room. Each one holds a small pool of Lgr5-positive stem cells that divide roughly once a day, pushing daughter cells upward along the villi like a slow conveyor belt. By the time a cell reaches…...
Researchers have identified tiny particles released by the gut that appear to actively drive the inflammation behind ageing and chronic disease — and particles taken from young animals seemed to push the process the other way
18+ hour, 30+ min ago (425+ words) The gut does not just digest food, house microbes and keep unwanted material out of the bloodstream. It also sends messages. A 2026 mouse study in Aging Cell suggests that some of those messages, carried in tiny particles from the gut…...

20+ hour, 30+ min ago (307+ words) Bioengineer.org Scientists Develop Real-Time Pathogen Transmission Tracking through Wastewater Analysis In a groundbreaking development poised to transform public health surveillance, researchers have unveiled a method for real-time estimation of pathogen transmission dynamics by analyzing wastewater samples This innovative approach…...
Canada’s microbial fuel factories: How university researchers are turning microorganisms into the next generation of biofuels
1+ day, 32+ min ago (702+ words) OpenAI number two Simo steps down to focus on health Remembering Shaun Guthrie, a CIO leader and friend to many How AI and digital twins are transforming project management in Canada Is workplace culture overtaking corporate prestige in the talent…...
New viral library helps scientists study thousands of proteins
1+ day, 1+ hour ago (1264+ words) To prevent viruses from sickening or killing us - whether it's an individual case of hepatitis B or a COVID pandemic - it's crucial to understand how the proteins they make initiate changes in our bodies that allow them to flourish. A…...

Glycocholic Acid Accelerates Colitis by Suppressing Intestinal Stem Cells
21+ hour, 54+ min ago (202+ words) A newly identified molecular mechanism reveals how glycocholic acid, a bile acid derivative, accelerates colitis progression by targeting intestinal stem cell renewal—a discovery that could reshape therapeutic approaches for inflammatory bowel diseases. This study challenges traditional views on bile…...
