A new study has found that iron levels trigger the formation of a kind of ‘memory’ in bacteria that drives their subsequent behavior. Moreover, the memory is passed on to future generations. The discovery has potential application in the prevention of bacterial infections and addressing the issue of antibiotic resistance.Our long-term memory functions as a site for the storage and retrieval of learned knowledge, which allows us to integrate incoming new information. But can brainless bacteria remember their previous…

Oxygen is one of the many components that make life on Earth possible. However, a new study says that an extreme drop in oxygen could one day suffocate most of the life on our planet. Luckily, that isn’t expected to happen for at least another billion years. The new study, which was published in Nature Geoscience in March 2021, says that the extreme drop in oxygen levels could take Earth back to the same state it was in before an event called the Great Oxidation Event (GOE), which is theorized to have happened…

A new study has found a link between high blood insulin levels, frequently seen in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes, and pancreatic cancer. The researchers say their findings may lead to new cancer prevention strategies and targeting treatments to slow or prevent the progression of the cancer.Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are among the risk factors for pancreatic cancer, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most prevalent, aggressive, and lethal pancreatic cancers. However, the mechanisms…

Researchers have presented the interim results of a clinical trial that used a single infusion of CRISPR gene-editing technology to permanently switch off low-density lipoprotein cholesterol production in people with a genetic condition that causes elevated levels of the ‘bad’ cholesterol and increases the risk of early heart attack.Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), so-called ‘bad’ cholesterol, is known to be a primary driver of atherosclerosis, the build-up of plaque on the walls of blood vessels that places…
