This article was a very interesting read. It talks about a study done at Indiana University about your skin and its microbiomes. The researchers wanted to see if the microbiomes on your skin are able to affect how bacterial pathogens are able to produce infection.
In this particular study they actually had a human skin infection to utilize as a model so they determined this research would be better than any that had been done previously. Having a human model allowed the team of researchers to find evidence to suggest that the skin microbiome did indeed play a role in the ability of people not needing help to clear up some bacterial infections. Also having an actual model it allowed the researchers to have a better understanding of how our microbiomes work.
When studying further they discovered that there were similar structures of the microbiomes in people who were able to resolve the ...
(ALS), sometimes referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive fatal neuromuscular disease that attacks nerve cells and pathways in the brain and spinal cord.

These rainforests are endangered because of logging companies among a number of other things. Rainforests across the world are being destroyed everyday. These rainforests are being de...
Glycolysis, the Universal Process | Anaerobic Pathways | Aerobic Respiration Glycolysis, the Universal Process | Nine reactions, each catalyzed by a specific enzyme, makeup the process we call glycolysis. ALL organisms have glycolysis occurring in their cytoplasm. At steps 1 and 3 ATP is converted into ADP, inputting energy into the reaction as wel...
