- 13Scientists Explain How UTI Treatment Strengthens Bladder Defenses●Researchers at the Laboratory of Microbiology and Microtechnology have identified how an established treatment for recur
Researchers at EPFL's Laboratory of Microbiology and Microtechnology have identified how an established treatment for recurrent urinary tract infections works. According to the team, the therapy strengthens the bladder's own natural defenses while helping antibiotics reach bacteria that hide inside bladder cells. The findings could improve treatment strategies for patients suffering from repeated infections, a common and difficult-to-treat condition.
- 14Physical processes shape timing of cancer and antibiotic treatment●Treatment resistance is one of the key challenges in cancer and antibiotic therapy. Researchers led by Dr. Jona Kayser a
Researchers led by Dr. Jona Kayser at MPZPM report that physical processes within dense cell populations strongly influence the optimal timing of treatment cycles in cancer and antibiotic therapy. Treatment resistance is a central obstacle in both fields, and the findings suggest that scheduling therapies around these dynamics could improve outcomes. The work, associated with the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, points to a greater role for biophysics in designing treatment schedules.
- 1513,000-year-old butchered gomphothere bones found in Chile●13,000-year-old butchered bones of long-tusked beast found in Chile give more evidence of early first Americans
Archaeologists in Chile have unearthed 13,000-year-old bones of a gomphothere, an extinct long-tusked relative of elephants, bearing clear cut marks from butchering. The find adds to evidence that humans were present in South America far earlier than the traditional Clovis timeline, supporting theories of an earlier peopling of the Americas. Researchers say the discovery strengthens the case for pre-Clovis settlement across the continent.
