Gut microbes eat our medication Posted: 13 Jun 2019 11:36 AM PDT Researchers have discovered one of the first concrete examples of how the microbiome can interfere with a drug's intended path through the body. Focusing on levodopa (L-dopa), the primary treatment for Parkinson's disease, they identified which bacteria out of the trillions of species is responsible for degrading the drug and how to stop this microbial interference. |
Viruses found to use intricate 'treadmill' to move cargo across bacterial cells Posted: 13 Jun 2019 11:35 AM PDT Using advanced technologies to explore the inner workings of bacteria, biologists have provided the first example of cargo within bacteriophage cells transiting along treadmill-like structures. The discovery demonstrates that bacteria have more in common with sophisticated human cells than previously believed. |
