Bacterial lysates and postbiotics can train your immune system to prevent respiratory infections. Here is why they matter in the era of antibiotic resistance.
As a pharmacist during clinical clerking, I frequently encounter patients who use the term “toilet infections” to describe symptoms that clinically align with bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections, or yeast infections. This widespread misconception often stems from the assumption that symptoms occurring after the use of public toilets must be caused by them.
Inhaled antibiotics deliver drugs directly to lung infections, achieving better results with fewer side effects, which is a game-changer in fighting resistance.
Traditionally, Forensic Science relies on Human DNA for contact evidence and individual identification, but limitation arises when the blood cells obtained from the crime scene are degraded or not.
article discusses how plant synthetic biology is reshaping biofortification strategies, particularly through approaches such as heterologous pathway engineering and transporter-based redistribution
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, claiming over a million lives each year. TB is the deadliest infectious disease known today, claiming more lives than COVID-19. TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB spreads through the air when infected people breathe, cough, sneeze,
Drug repurposing is reshaping medicine. Discover how changing a drug's route of administration — not the molecule itself — can unlock new therapeutic potential.
Natural polysaccharides like locust bean gum and chitosan are replacing lactose as safer, more effective carriers for inhaled medications and vaccines.
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic biological process that occurs through four overlapping phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. To repair tissue damage, the body works intensively, thereby significantly increasing cellular metabolic demands.
How a 150-year-old food industry technique became essential for creating stable biologics and inhaled medicines, transforming liquid drugs into life-saving powders.
Vancomycin is an essential glycopeptide antibiotic used to treat life-threatening infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, particularly Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It functions by inhibiting bacterial cell-wall synthesis and is still the most potent drug to be used when others fail (Patel, Preuss, & Bernice, 2023).
