MPVs are sanitized and disinfected, but studies show this process can be flawed, putting consumer health in danger. 

These syringe structures, described in the journal Nature, were used to deliver a range of useful proteins to both human cells and cells in live mice. 

Researchers have found that the reusable water bottles are highly contaminated with germs. So here's to adding 'clean water bottle' to your house chores to-do list.

The bottle from which you drink water everyday, the same bottle is the enemy of your life. We did not make this claim, it has been revealed in a study. The researchers examined all the parts of the bottle thrice. It was revealed in the study that the water bottle is 40,000 times dirtier than the toilet seat.

The drastic fluctuations in temperature and high humidity during this season makes one susceptible to many viruses causing a cold and flu Fungal infections especially of the feet are another problem specific to this season

Bdelloidea is a class of Rotifer animals including freshwater animals that are cosmopolitan in nature This micro-organism is said to be reproducing asexually after being preserved in the permafrost of Siberia for 24000 years

The research was carried out at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology The crew of scientists and researchers also included a team from India's University of Hyderabad Astronauts from various crews have been collecting the samples from eight different spots on the space station since 2014

Zimbabwe`s parks agency said a bacterial disease known as haemorrhagic septicaemia could be behind the deaths of 34 elephants. This comes a week after Botswana blamed toxins produced by another type of bacterium for killing more than 300 elephants. Officials are conducting more tests on samples from Zimbabwe`s dead elephants to try to get conclusive results.

Previous research has already shown the bacteria is "good" because it calms inflammation in the gut.

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati researchers have developed a low-cost, hand-held device for rapid detection of bacteria, bringing portable bacterial detection kits closer to reality.

The bacteria, fungi and viruses in our food transiently colonise our gut, but cooking kills most of these, so raw fruit and vegetable are particularly important sources of gut microbes.

Simple recommendation to 'eat real food', mostly plants and not too much' might be the most effective primary prevention strategy for some of the most serious conditions of our time.

The study shows that a protein called thioredoxin determines the time course of the worms` sensory response to the gas. 

Researchers, including one of Indian origin, have found that analysis of the gut microbiome -- a collection of bacteria and other microbes in the gut -- could help better predict risk of hospitalisation for patients with cirrhosis, a condition in which the liver does not function properly.

A man in the United Kingdom has been infected with the worst-ever case of gonorrhoea in the world. 

While rocket test flights usually have a dummy payload, SpaceX founder Musk sent up his personal Tesla Roadster instead.

Scientists have developed a filling material with tiny particles made by self-assembly of antimicrobial drugs which is designed to stop bacteria in its tracks.

The research also shows that humans may be having an even greater impact on levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth's atmosphere than accepted evidence from climate history studies of ice cores suggests.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the most pressing public health challenges and threatens the ability to effectively fight infectious diseases including pneumonia and tuberculosis.
