(University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences) A dog's indiscriminate taste is not always a positive trait. In fact, it often leads to gastrointestinal infections and consequent ailments such as diarrhea and vomiting that come from eating spoiled food. Others develop gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases that are not directly...

In a study published this month in Schizophrenia Research, Temple University psychologist Lauren Ellman found that exposure during pregnancy to certain immune proteins, such as those produced in response to the flu, leads to increased risk for brain abnormalities associated with schizophrenia in offspring.
Researchers have fabricated and characterized the first large-area metamaterial structures patterned on implantable, bio-compatible silk substrates. The antenna-like devices can monitor the "fingerprints" of chemical and biological agents and might be implanted to signal changes in the body. Metamaterials are artificial electromagnetic composites whose structures respond to electromagnetic waves...
The immune system may open the door to recurrent urinary tract infections by overdoing its response to an initial infection, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found.
The immune system may help open the door to recurrent urinary tract infections by overdoing its response to an initial infection, report researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The findings appear Aug. 12 in the open-access journal PLoS Pathogens.
