Pathogens use force to bypass the immune system, new research says

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Researchers have found that some pathogens can use physical force to enter and survive inside cells, bypassing the immune system. This could lead to new ways of fighting intracellular infections.

Bottlenose dolphins can sense electric fields, study shows

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

A small team of bio-scientists from the University of Rostock’s Institute for Biosciences and Nuremberg Zoo’s Behavioral Ecology and Conservation Lab, both in Germany, has found evidence that bottlenose dolphins can sense electric fields. In their study, reported in the Journal of Experimental Biology, the group tested the ability of two captive bottlenose dolphins to sense a small electric field.

Many creatures in the are able to sense an electric field—some sharks and the platypus, for example—but only one type of marine mammal has been found to have the ability: the Guiana dolphin. In this new effort, the research team wondered if other types of dolphins have the ability.

They chose to study for two reasons: a pair of were available for testing at the nearby Nuremberg Zoo, and prior research suggested that neural cells in the vibrissal crypts situated along the dolphins’ snouts strongly resembled the electric-field detectors observed in sharks.

Certain Skin Bacteria can Inhibit Growth of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Researchers have found a bacteriocin that can help inhibit the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing global problem. Part of the solution may lie in copying the bacteria’s own weapons. The research environment in Tromsø has found a new bacteriocin, in a very common skin bacterium. Bacteriocin inhibits the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are often the cause of disease and can be difficult to treat.

One million deaths each year.

The fact that we have medicines against bacterial infections is something many people take for granted.

Perspective: The Rise of “Wet” Artificial Intelligence

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, business, robotics/AI

Combining AI with traditional wet lab work creates a virtuous circle from lab to data and back to the lab.

AI, with the right data, can span all of these scales and make sense of the data we collect on all of them. It’s poised to accelerate basic science, the business of biotechs, the behemoth pharmaceutical companies, and the broader bioeconomy.
