Study Discovers That Avocados Boost Gut Microbiota

A recent study from the University of Illinois shows that consuming avocados daily can improve gut health. While it is common knowledge that avocados are high in monounsaturated fat and dietary fiber, it was unclear how they affected the microbes found in the gut. The lead author of the paper, Sharon Thompson, stated that while researchers knew that eating avocados decreases blood cholesterol concentration, their influence on the metabolites produced by the microbes in the gut and their influence on the microbes themselves remained unclear. The researchers discovered that individuals who consumed avocado daily as part of a meal had…

Researchers Discover Why Lungs Are Severely Affected by Virus-Related Attacks

A new study conducted by researchers from Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet describes how macrophages, which are different kinds of immune cells, can develop in the lungs and cause serious lung diseases. Macrophages have many functions in the body, including protecting the lungs from attacks by bacteria and viruses. The lungs’ structure exposes them to both these pathogens through blood and air. However, under specific conditions, the macrophages can also cause severe lung disease such as the coronavirus and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). However, research on human lung macrophages development is scanty. Macrophages develop from a type of white blood cell…

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…
