To control germs, scientists deploy tiny agents provocateurs
Aiming to thwart persistent bacterial infections and better control group behaviors of certain microorganisms, scientists are creating artificial chemicals that infiltrate and sabotage bacterial "mobs." Reporting the work here today (March 13) at the 229th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, University of Wisconsin-Madison chemistry professor Helen Blackwell described the o...Unique library of plant genes germinates, takes root at UNC
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's newest "library" is not the kind that will entice an average book lover, but it eventually will please thousands of plant scientists around the world. Through such researchers' work, it will undoubtedly contribute to improving crops that humans around the planet depend on every day, its developers say. Named Phytome, the unique library is a...Flu not the only germ threat this time of year
The flu hasn't even hit hard yet this year, but it seems like everyone's getting sick. What's the deal? Metapneumovirus. Rhinoviruses. Coronaviruses. Parainfluenza. Respir...New research: Soy germ isoflavones reduce bone loss
A new study published in this month's European Journal of Nutrition demonstrates a strong correlation between reducing bone loss in non-obese postmenopausal women and the dose-dependent effect of soy germ isoflavones, particularly SoyLife®. These findings support previous scientific findings regarding soy isoflavones for post-menopausal women. According to the authors of the study, "Osteop...A key antibody, IgG, links cells' capture and disposal of germs
Scientists have found a new task managed by the antibody that's the workhorse of the human immune system: Inside cells, Immunoglobulin G (IgG) helps bring together the phagosomes that corral invading pathogens and the potent lysosomes that eventually kill off the germs. The research, by Axel Nohturfft at Harvard University and colleagues at Harvard, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the...Wheat Germ Phosphatase, Acid, Unconjugated from Sigma-Aldrich

With about 83 million people, it has not only one of E...Scientists found ancient Human Germ Killer
A substance that scientists created using information taken from a monkey gene ``dramatically protected'' human cells from the AIDS virus in a laboratory experiment. The researchers believe the substance, which they call ``retrocyclin,'' was once produced naturally in human cells, but was lost to humans because of an ancient mutation.
