Scientists find natural defense against antibiotic-resistant lung bacteria
October 24, 2022 -- Researchers out of Germany have identified a previously unknown, natural defense mechanism that protects cells from the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is resistant to most antibiotics and causes life-threatening infections of wounds or the lungs: septins. Read More
Japanese scientists grow hair in vitro
October 24, 2022 -- Japanese scientists have generated hair follicles in vitro and doing so could have implications for treating hair loss disorders, animal testing, and drug screenings. Read More
Amygdala neurons responsible for junk food on the brain
October 21, 2022 -- Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory researchers have discovered a group of neurons in the brain's amygdala that drive mice to "hedonic eating" for pleasure instead of survival, which could potentially lead to therapeutics targeting these neurons and improved anti-obesity strategies.
