Research published in Current Biology reveals that plasmids can increase antibiotic tolerance by directing bacteria to form conjugation pili, which create dense, physically resilient cell clusters that are difficult for treatments to penetrate. www.labroots.com/trending/mic...

Dr. Carrie Cuttler: “Beef jerky was one of the No. 1 things intoxicated people gravitated toward, which I don’t understand. Honestly, I would have thought chocolate, chips, Rice Krispies treats—things like that.” www.labroots.com/trending/can...

A Gut Microbe Linked to Good #Health is Discovered | "The #probiotic industry hasn't really kept up ..people are still using the same probiotic species that were being used decades ago. We're now discovering new groups..." said Dr. Alexandre Almeida. www.labroots.com/trending/mic...

Recent research shows how hundreds of different mutations in a key cancer-linked gene can variably boost tumor-driving signaling and thus help explain how specific genetic changes promote uncontrolled cancer growth. www.labroots.com/trending/gen...

Ultra-processed foods appear to significantly raise the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. www.labroots.com/trending/car...

Cells can adapt to aging by remodeling their endoplasmic reticulum through ER-phagy, selectively degrading parts of this organelle as they age—a process that could potentially be targeted to influence age-related decline. www.labroots.com/trending/cel...

New study finds human genetics strongly influence which microbes thrive in our mouths — helping explain why cavity risk varies between people. www.labroots.com/trending/mic...
