Researchers are targeting a key protein involved in this process, in an attempt to stop the parasite. They found that interfering with this protein slows the escape of the parasite from red blood cells, reducing the rate of infection and making it easier for the body to shut it down. The research findings were published July 6 in PLOS Pathogens.
Another vaccine uses whole, live attenuated parasites but carries a strong risk of full infection. In this study, the vaccine made from genetically modified parasites creates an immune response in human volunteers and did not lead to development of malaria, or significant symptoms or side effects.
The pathogen referred to as a "nightmare bacteria" is quietly adapting and spreading faster than anticipated.
Afton Limberg, Biomedical Engineering My name is Afton Limberg, and I am in the second year of my PhD at Dartmouth College in the Biomedical Engineering program. I grew up in Minnesota where both of my parents work in education, and they inspired me to apply for this program. My research is focusing on studying the effects of spaceflight on tendons and bones. The lack of gravitational forces ...
The unit includes extensive lesson plans, multi-media content, hands-on activities, and a full package of materials and supplies for each teacher. The project has three sections, and each section is introduced via a video showing an evening newscast in which the reporters present data about various changes local residents are detecting relative ...
As unappealing as it sounds, transplants with fecal material from healthy donors help treat tough Clostridium difficile gastrointestinal infections. Researchers credit the treatment's success to its ability to restore a healthy bacterial balance to the bowels, and new research has shown that the transplanted bacteria doesn't just do its job and leave. The good fecal bacteria and its benefits ...
Integrating Light and Moisture Sensors (optional) This section is optional, but it may be helpful for some classes to learn how to integrate the two sensors they’ve already been exposed to (in Lesson 2) before exploring breadboards and new sensors. Goal of this section: students will understand that the Arduino can read and display data from multiple sensors.

If the all the fingerlike projections in our gut were flattened out, its surface area would be 100 times bigger than our skin's. It's so large that the actions of just a small part of it can impact our health. A new research study has found that enterochromaffin cells in the intestinal lining alert the nervous system to signs of trouble in the gut — trouble that ranges from bacterial ...
