Gut bacteria use a molecular language as interspecies communication to talk to their mammalian hosts
Study describes molecular language bacteria use to control host genes and development Bacteria in the gut do far more than help digest food in the stomachs of their hosts, they can also tell the genes in their mammalian hosts what to do. A study published today in Cell describes a form of "interspecies communication" in which bacteria

'Lift and push' may also benefit victims of heart, liver, brain disease A team of researchers led by Jonathan Stamler, MD, of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, has discovered a pathway for enhancing the self-repair efforts of injured kidneys The finding may pave the way for new
Chronic spinal cord injury victims receive hope with new research that restores breathing and partial forelimb function – in rats
Promising results provide hope for humans suffering from chronic paralysis Millions of people worldwide are living with chronic spinal cord injuries, with 250,000 to 500,000 new cases each year—most from vehicle crashes or falls. The most severe spinal cord injuries completely paralyze their victims and more than half impair a person's ability to breathe. Now,
New Therapy Delays Muscle Atrophy in Lou Gehrig's Disease Mouse Model
Mouse study could provide foundation for future human therapeutics Supplementing a single protein found in the spinal cord could help prevent symptoms of Lou Gehrig's disease, according to a new study out of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Researchers found high levels of the protein—called mitofusion 2 or Mfn2—prevented nerve degeneration, muscle atrophy,
The first artificial human prion
Finding May Shed Added Light On, Offer Treatment Hope for Brain-Wasting Diseases Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine researchers have synthesized the first artificial human prion, a dramatic development in efforts to combat a devastating form of brain disease that has so far eluded treatment and a cure. The new findings are published in Nature
New uses for old drugs found by a predictive computer program

Scientists have developed an octopus-like robot, which can zoom through water with ultra-fast propulsion and acceleration never before seen in man-made underwater vehicles. Most fast aquatic animals are sleek and slender to help them move easily through the water but cephalopods, such as the octopus, are capable of high-speed escapes by filling their bodies with

Crowd-sourced data yields system that determines where mobile-device users are looking. For the past 40 years, eye-tracking technology — which can determine where in a visual scene people are directing their gaze — has been widely used in psychological experiments and marketing research, but it's required pricey hardware that has kept it from finding consumer

Scientists at EPFL have developed a new method for making antimicrobial surfaces that can eliminate bacteria under a minute. The technology, now tested in a hospital, shows enormous potential for preventing hospital-acquired infections. One of the biggest problems for hospitals is maintaining a sterile environment and protecting its patients from acquiring what are known as

Robots, common in manufacturing jobs, increasingly spread to office professions: Humanoid or human-like robots already perform tasks in hotels, in stores, and in restaurants. They cook, serve, or advise customers. They communicate like humans via speech, gestures, and sometimes even facial expressions. In Japan, China, and increasingly in the US, a real robot hype can
