Research Shows that One Kiss Can Spread 80 Million Bacteria

A Dutch study indicates that just one ten-second kiss may pass on as many as 80 million bacteria. Dutch scientists found that couples who kissed nine times a day were more likely to share saliva bacteria. Previous studies indicate that the human mouth may host over 700 different bacterial species. The new research shows that […]

Italy is Developing Technology that Uses Plant Cells to 3D-Print Food

Italy is emerging as a leader in technological innovation through the development of 3D-printed food. At ENEA’s research laboratory in Oricola, scientists are converting plant cells and food waste into so-called “edible inks,” which are then used to produce nutrient-rich cereal bars, confectionery, and small honey spheres. Main features of the technology: Cell-Based Cultivation in

Hormones Travel To The Brain by “Piggybacking” On Extracellular Vesicles

Scientists at Touro University Nevada have found that small blood particles, known as extracellular vesicles (EVs), play a key role in transporting certain hormones throughout the body. Physical exercise can enhance this process. Key Players in Hormone Transport and Exercise Effects The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provides new insights

134 New Gut Viruses Found With Big Medical Implications

In a major breakthrough, scientists have identified over 100 new human viruses within 252 gut microbes, creating the first living model of the “gut virome”—previously known only through DNA fragments. This discovery could help unlock treatments for chronic health conditions. While researchers have long studied bacteriophages in the gut through DNA sequencing, they have rarely

Scientists Use Engineered Stem Cells to Slow Aging in Monkeys, Study Reveals

BEIJING (WSYX) — Scientists have shown that genetically modified human stem cells can delay aging symptoms in monkeys, potentially paving the way for treatments aimed at age-related decline in humans. Stem Cell Therapy Cuts Aging Signs in Monkeys Without Side Effects Over a 44-week period, researchers treated cynomolgus monkeys with senescence-resistant mesenchymal progenitor cells (SRCs)

World’s First ‘Behavior Transplant’ Between Species Achieved

In a groundbreaking experiment, scientists have successfully transferred a courtship behavior from one species to another, causing the recipient to perform the foreign action as if it were innate. While cross-species gene transfers have previously influenced traits, this marks the first time an entirely new behavior has been genetically introduced into another animal. Rewiring the

A Microbiologist Describes the Microbes Lurking Between Your Toes

Your feet are thriving hubs for microbes. The spaces between your toes are loaded with sweat glands, and when enclosed in socks and shoes, they trap moisture in a warm, humid environment perfect for microbial growth. In fact, each foot can harbor a miniature rainforest of bacteria and fungi, with anywhere from 100 to 10
