An unlikely hero in antibiotic resistance: Platypus milk could be used to fight superbugs
Back in 2010, researchers uncovered special antibacterial properties in platypus milk. Its antibacterial potency is such that the team believed it could one day help combat superbugs. Come 2018, a new group of scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has found out why. The milk on its own is unique. Firstly, […]

The brain’s role in fertility: Landmark study discovers how the pituitary gland sends pulses to the reproductive organs
A group of scientists from the University of Otago in New Zealand determined how the brain controls fertility, through a landmark study that revealed how the pituitary gland controls the activity of the reproductive organs by sending pulses of hormone. In their study, they found a group of around 2000 kisspeptin neurons in the hypothalamus that synchronize their […]

Human cells and microorganisms found to be biochemically similar, according to astonishing study
Archaea are single-celled microorganisms that exist in areas with extreme conditions, such as volcanic vents in the ocean floor. A recent study has proven that these “hardy microbes” and human cells have similar biochemical compositions. Tom Santangelo, a Colorado State University (CSU) researcher and associate professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, thinks […]

Goldfish manufacture alcohol in their own cells to lower their biological freezing temperature in frigid waters
Goldfish fill their bodies with alcohol to survive for days (even months) in oxygen-free frozen water. Evolutionary physiologists say that they have now discovered the mechanism in which the fish — and their wild relatives, the crucian carp — are able to live in an environment where most vertebrate animals would die within minutes. Typically, […]
