Dual-Acting Antibiotics Offer Hope Against Superbugs

Researchers from Wistar Institute have found a new category of compounds that merge the killing of bacterial pathogens that are drug resistant through the use of antibiotics, with a swift immune response used to fight antimicrobial resistance. Last year, the WHO declared antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as a top public health threat. Estimates show that by the year 2050, infections that are antibiotic resistant could not only thrust upon the world economy a collective burden of $100 trillion but also claim the lives of nearly 10 million people every year. It does not help that the number of bacteria growing treatment…

Research Discovers Coronavirus Enters the Brain

In a study published in the “Nature Neuroscience” journal, researchers report that the coronavirus affects the brain. This research was done after additional reports came out about people who had been infected with the coronavirus suffering from cognitive effects such as fatigue and brain fog. The researchers believe that the virus that causes the coronavirus — SARS-CoV-2 — can enter an individual’s brain. They base this theory on the fact that they discovered that, in mice, the spike protein found in the virus could cross the brain-blood barrier. The protein, referred to as the S1 protein, controls which cells the virus…

Study Finds Genes May Not Be Main Cause of Childhood Obesity

Obesity during childhood is a challenge for many children. However, there may be hope, as German researchers have discovered that social, environmental and behavioral factors influence weight loss significantly, while obesity genes play a minor role in successful weight loss. The recent study carried out by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) suggests that there are vital things to consider with regard to treatment strategies for obesity in children. Melanie Heitkamp, a researcher from TUM’s department of prevention, sports medicine and rehabilitation, explained that using an individual’s genetic predisposition as a basis for their likelihood to respond to a treatment…

Genetics May Help Prevent Decline in Cognitive Function

While some individuals suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s as they get older, others tend to remain sharp well past the age of 80. German researchers have found the reason for this: an individual’s genes. The researchers’ conclusion is based on findings from a study that involved studying the brain images of 94 participants who were 80 years old and above. The images were made up of the amount of beta-amyloid protein plaques and tau protein tangles discovered in the participants’ brains. Researchers found that individuals who had lower scores on memory tests were those who were aging normally. These participants…

Study Discovers HIV Increases Risks of Developing Cervical Cancer

A team of researchers from the Technical University of Munich have measured how an HIV infection affects cervical cancer development. HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus in full, is a virus that attacks an individual’s cells, making it harder for the body to fight infections, which makes one more vulnerable to other diseases and infections. The study was reported in “The Lancet Global Health” journal. Statistics from WHO show that cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer type in women. Approximately 580,000 women were diagnosed with cervical carcinoma globally in 2018. It is estimated that nearly 311,000 of these women…
