Transplanting gut bacteria alters depression-related behavior, brain inflammation in animals

(Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) Scientists have shown that transplanting gut bacteria, from an animal that is vulnerable to social stress to a non-stressed animal, can cause vulnerable behavior in the recipient. The research reveals detail...

We now know how insects and bacteria control ice

(University of Utah) in a paper published today in the Journal of the American Chemical Society University of Utah professor Valeria Molinero and her colleagues show how key proteins produced in bacteria and insects can either promote or inhibit the...

Bacteria surrounding coral reefs change in synchrony, even across great distance

(University of Hawaii at Manoa) A study published in Nature Communications revealed that the bacteria present in the water overlying dozens of coral reefs changed dramatically during the night, and then returned to the same daytime community as obser...

Microgels let medical implants fight off bacteria

(Stevens Institute of Technology) Joint replacement implants dipped in microgel flecks -- and then into a charged solution -- can release micro-doses of antibiotics when bacteria approach. The work could play a role in sharply reducing infection rate...

Bacteria may travel thousands of miles through the air globally

(Rutgers University) Bacteria may travel thousands of miles through the air worldwide instead of hitching rides with people and animals, according to Rutgers and other scientists. Their 'air bridge' hypothesis could shed light on how harmfu...
