-(Natural News) There are natural proteins in the body that fight off viral infections by causing infected cells to die in a process called necroptosis. A new study by North Carolina-based researchers showed that these same molecules also stop bacterial infections from spreading. Furthermore, the proteins don’t trigger cell death in infected cells that host pathogenic bacteria. […]

-(Natural News) Oral health may be linked to much more than just the appearance and smell of your teeth. In a recent study published in the EMBO Reports, researchers found that tooth decay can make colon cancer more aggressive. The study reported that common oral bacteria associated with tooth decay can accelerate the growth of […]

-(Natural News) Bacteria and viruses are not the only tiny hitchhikers during outer space that might endanger the health of astronauts. Recently, Belgian researchers brought up concerns about microscopic fungi living aboard space stations and spacecraft, especially the upcoming missions to the moon and Mars. Experts know very little about the potential pathogenic properties of […]

-(Natural News) The next time you go to the pediatric clinic, it may be best not to let your child into the ball pit. A recent study warned that these physical therapy playgrounds were just as dirty and filled with disease-causing microbes as their counterparts in family restaurants. Published in the American Journal of Infection […]

-(Natural News) Big things do come in small packages, and unfortunately, this also applies to health problems. Bacteria may be the tiniest living organisms, but they can cause some of the worst infections on the planet. A good example of a potentially problematic infection is the golden staph infection. Caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, this infection causes skin abscesses, boils, ear […]

-(Natural News) Researchers from Swansea University Medical School in the U.K. have discovered a new type of bacteria that can inhibit more than half of the top antibiotic-resistant pathogens. In the study, which was published in Frontiers Microbiology, a team from the U.K. and Croatia analyzed an area in Ireland that is thought to have medicinal properties and found […]

-(Natural News) Many people get diseases from bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens because of poor hygiene. However, a new study shows that being too clean also makes you prone to superbugs. This raises more concern as the number of people who become ill and die from antibiotic-resistant germs is increasing globally. Researchers at the Institute […]

-(Natural News) For over a million Americans, type 1 diabetes is a fact of life. Type 1 diabetes, which is also sometimes called “insulin-dependent diabetes,” can strike anyone, at any age — seemingly, without warning. In the United States, 40,000 new cases of type 1 diabetes are diagnosed every year. But new research shows that […]

-(Natural News) A new French study recommended that human populations reduce their interaction with wild animals, especially primates like apes and monkeys. Reducing contact with animals decreases the risk of contracting a zoonotic disease that might develop into an epidemic. One of the perils to human health comes from disease-causing microbes that usually live in animals but are capable of infecting […]

-(Natural News) Researchers from the Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants in India investigated the composition and antibacterial activity of Indian wormwood essential oil against nine pathogenic strains. Their findings were published in the Journal of Essential Oil Research. The researchers analyzed the composition of essential oil derived from the aerial parts of Artemisia […]
