Artificial Sweeteners May Promote Development of Glucose Intolerance and Weight Gain
Recently published findings have stirred a controversy by indicating that noncaloric artificial sweeteners, a key components of diet drinks and foods, actually promote development of glucose intolerance, metabolic disease, and obesity by causing profound changes in the composition and function of the organisms that make up the intestinal microbiome.

Blocking Binding of Bacteria to Fibrinogen Prevents Biofilm Formation and Catheter-Associated Bladder Infection in Mice
A team of molecular microbiologists has identified and targeted a critical step in biofilm formation and developed a vaccine that prevents catheter-associated urinary tract infections in mice. More...30 Sep 2014



Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Linked to Apolipoprotein E Variants
The apoE4 variant form of circulating apolipoprotein E leads to increased risk of cardiovascular disease by blocking binding of the normal apoE3 form to the apoliprotein E receptor 2 in the membranes of endothelial cells lining the walls of blood vessels and by interacting with the receptor without stimulating production of anti-inflammatory nitric oxide.
