Good Bacteria Harvard Study
A new study, led by scientists from Harvard University, is offering more compelling evidence of a link between the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and the gut microbiome. One researcher described the discovery as “remarkable”, after finding genetically identical mice displayed different health outcomes determined by their specific gut bacteria communities. Mutations in a gene called C9orf72 account for […]
Conductive Polymer Self
When a regular material is torn or ruptured, it stays that way unless we tend to it with our hands or a machine to repair the damage. But a new class of materials is emerging that needs no such intervention, the latest example of which is a conductive polymer that can regain full functionality after being severed. The material was […]
