Tech Xplore / Charging drones mid-flight with lasers
Wireless charging is nothing new for our phones, watches, earbuds and other tech. Now, researchers want to bring wireless power to the skies—recharging drones in flight by beaming a laser under their wings.
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria leave intestinal 'memory,' protecting against inflammation
New Northwestern Medicine research published in Nature Communications suggests that a metabolite produced by gut bacteria when they digest dietary fiber can leave a lasting molecular imprint on intestinal cells, promoting ...
Medical Xpress / Phage and microbiota therapy reduced recurrent UTIs in two patients over two years
Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide and primarily affect women. While antibiotics remain the standard treatment, frequent recurrences and rising antibiotic resistance ...
Phys.org / Gonorrhea's own enzyme triggers therapy against multidrug-resistant strains in lab tests
Scientists at the Universities of Liverpool and Oxford have developed a promising new way to kill antibiotic-resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, using a targeted therapy that is ...
Medical Xpress / Men 50 years and older seem to have insufficient knowledge toward benign prostatic hyperplasia
Men aged 50 years and older demonstrate insufficient knowledge, a positive attitude and proactive practices regarding benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), according to a study published online July 17 in Neurourology and Urodynamics.
Medical Xpress / Study identifies which bacteria trigger the 'farm effect' that makes children less prone to allergies
Children who grow up in a farm environment are less prone to allergies, asthma and hay fever than their classmates. This so-called farm effect has been identified in several observational studies worldwide. It is most likely ...
