Scientists have demonstrated a new potential treatment for bone cancer. A bioactive glass laced with a toxic metal was able to kill up to 99% of the cancer without harming healthy cells, and could even help regrow healthy bone after.Continue ReadingCategory: Cancer, Illnesses and conditions, Body & MindTags: Bones, Cancer, Aston University, Glass, Materials
Next-gen antibiotic kills superbugs but leaves good gut bacteria alone
Posted by ArielTechGeek 285 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Antibiotic-induced disruption of the gut microbiome can compromise health and make people more susceptible to opportunistic infection by pathogens like C. difficile. The widespread rise of superbugs resistant to antibiotics further complicates their use.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Antibiotic, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Microbiome, Gut Bacteria, University of Illinois
UV-emitting underwater glass kills microbes to stay clear
Posted by ArielTechGeek 344 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists are using UV-emitting glass to keep problematic undersea biofilms at bay. And while we're not likely to see glass ship hulls anytime soon, the technology may find use in applications such as underwater viewing ports or camera lenses.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Glass, University of Massachusetts, Biofilm, Underwater
Augmented-cotton bandage kills bacteria without using antibiotics
Posted by ArielTechGeek 398 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
While infected wounds definitely aren't a good thing, neither is the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria which may occur due to overuse of the drugs. That's where a new type of cotton bandage comes in, as it kills microbes without resorting to antibiotics.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Antibacterial, Cornell University, Wound, Dressings, Cotton
New antibiotic family kills superbugs in a way they can't resist
Posted by ArielTechGeek 435 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are poised to become a global health concern in the coming decades. In the race to develop new weapons, scientists from Texas A&M have created a novel family of antibacterial polymers that can kill 'superbugs' in a way they can't evolve resistance to.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Bacteria, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Superbugs, Texas A&M Univ
