Although most of today’s biotherapeutics come from cell lines, herbs also offer a wide range of therapeutic benefits. Instead of putting cells in a bioreactor and filtering and purifying the product, herb-based bioprocessing is often more about making the right mixture of herbs. For some infections, an herb-based therapy promises to provide similar efficacy without increasing antibiotic resistance to existing antibiotics. Recently, Yingli Song, PhD, a senior laboratory technician in the School of Basic Medical Sciences at Harbin Medical University in Heilongjiang, China, and her colleagues reported on treating skin infections with an herb-based antibiotic. The human skin, our body’s…
For Immediate ReleaseFrom: Facsimile State University (FSU), 24 September 2025In an exciting development here at FSU, an AI chatbot named ‘Steve’ has successfully reorganized the Biological Research Institute “to better serve humankind”. Plus, according to its latest social-media post, Steve has also apparently created life from inorganic material.University president, Michael Smith, an early-adoption advocate of AI, was effusive in his praise: “This is truly exciting and will put our university at the cutting edge of scientific research! As soon as Steve lets us back inside the institute, we’ll put together a proper press pack and a photo essay.”The AI chatbot…
Well, Cap, it’s because some people want to enjoy the pleasures of life, including socializing and having a good time. You can warm up when you want to, of course, but it’s the wanting to that’s the key. Most of the time, you simply don’t want to turn on that social charm, and it can definitely make things uncomfy.
And it’s great for couples too.
I walk approximately 10 miles a week. It’s the only form of cardio I can consistently do, and the only version that feels good for my body, given my chronic inflammation. Since I am sensitive to pain, I gravitate toward cushy, cloud-like sneakers for my walks because they help soften the impact of my steps. The first high cushion shoe I ever fell in love with was the Brooks Ghost Max. The original iteration of this now arguably coveted shoe, I ranted and raved so much that my sister ended up getting a pair of her own. One year later,…

By fortifying your arms, shoulders, upper back, and chest, you can improve your posture and prevent muscle imbalances that can lead to injuries and falls, according to Cleveland Clinic.These muscles also help you shore up the strength…
Science has confirmed that exercise is good for the brain. It increases blood flow, inhibits stress hormones, and stimulates the release of “feel-good” endorphins. One way exercise is thought to yield these benefits for the brain is through a chain of processes that ultimately results in the release of the hormone brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Produced by the liver, brain, skeletal muscle, and fat tissue, BDNF is known to promote the growth, survival, and maintenance of nerve cells. Previous studies suggest that this physiological chain is triggered by high levels of lactate in the blood—a byproduct produced when carbohydrates are…
Over the past 12 months, Nature’s Careers team has been tapping into its global community of readers, writers, friends and colleagues to compile a list of laboratory hacks to help make scientists’ working lives easier. To mark the start of a new academic term in many parts of the world, we are sharing what we gleaned. Some ‘hackers’ submitted several tips on how to save time, stay tidy, slash admin tasks and find new uses for old objects; others supplied just one technique that makes a huge or even modest difference in their work.Some tricks date back years. They reached…
