Magic, Ancient Concoction Kills Today’s Superbugs

by Eagle Biosciences

A recent discovery of an ancient remedy could have surprising and hopeful implications for microbiology and more specifically, combating highly resistant bacteria (a.k.a. superbugs). This concoction was found in a medieval medical textbook for treating eye infections and could possibly date back as early as the 9th century. The magic ingredients include 2 species of Allium (garlic and onion or leak), wine, and bile from a cow’s stomach.

Superbugs have been a growing health concern and threat around the world with increasing antibiotic resistance. Treatments, procedures, and infections that were once simple are now complicated and often deadly because these bugs. So it was shocking to researchers and scientists at the University of Nottingham to see how effective this specific combination of ingredients were when they tested them against nasty bacterial strains such as MRSA.

Referring to methods and remedies in the past before science and the germ theory was really understood is a crazy thought. However, evidence suggests that ancient scientists were on to something…something that could possibly take the world out of this antibiotic resistant era. Learn More

Viagra Not Just For Erectile Dysfunction: 3 Major Reasons it has More Potential

by Eagle Biosciences

A recent animal study at Henry Ford Hospital focused on researching the potential of the drug, sildenafil’s (a.k.a. Viagra) ability to treat nerve damage in men with long-term diabetes. Scientists’ specifically targeted diabetic peripheral neuropathy which is the most common complication of diabetes. A cohort of mice were carefully selected in order to obtain a large sampling of mice that aligned with the target clinical population in terms of age and diabetic type/status.

The study was successful, proving that sildenafil is useful in remarkably improving sensory function just weeks after administering the drug to the mice in the test group as compared to the mice in the saline control group. Read More

3 Reasons Sildenafil/Viagra Treatment Should be Studied Further:

1. Results of this study have revealed positive effects on neurological function:

Diabetic neuropathy is an incredibly insidious, thus quickly damaging nerves in various parts of the body and often doing so without being discovered until it is too late leading to amputation or even death. This drug may have potential to reverse and/or prevent this condition from occurring.

2. Possibility of treatment without side effects:

Other drugs that have been used to treat pain from diabetic neuropathy have harmful/undesirable side effects.

3. Other potential applications:

This study is just the beginning. Additional studies may reveal that sildenafil/viagra may be a potential target for other areas of research and medical diseases/conditions.

Using Urine to Generate Electricity: 2 Major Reasons Why this Might Actually Be a Good Idea

by Eagle Biosciences

Utilizing urine as a source to generate electricity is quite odd and definitely a little off-putting and why in the world would you want to do that?!

A recent study at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) has proved that it is in fact a creative idea. These researchers focused first on designing ways to use urine to power mobile phones. They were able to demonstrate that electricity generated by microbial fuel cell stacks (MFC) could create the power that they needed by employing live microbes which feed on urine (fuel) for their own growth and maintenance. The MFC is an efficient system which extracts a portion of the biochemical energy used for microbial growth,and thereby converts that directly into electricity or as the scientists refer to it as urine-tricity or pee power. Learn More

The MFC Techonology is:

1. Green:

Utilizing a waste product that is in plentiful supply is always a wise choice because it provides an efficient and cost effective means without the use of fossil fuels.

2. Versatile:

This technology could be used anywhere and potentially for numerous other applications. In fact, they are looking to try this in refugee camps to light up toilets to provide safety to women from being assaulted when using the bathroom after dark.

Interesting Study Reveals Possible Link Between Vitamin D and Autism

by Eagle Biosciences

A recent study at the Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) investigated the effect that Vitamin D may have on social behavior associated with autism. This research demonstrated that three hormones in the brain that affect social behavior: serotonin, oxytocin, and vasopressin are activated by the vitamin D hormone. In fact, researchers discovered that vitamin D has several vital roles and may be necessary for the production of serotonin in the brain. The results of this study further revealed that Vitamin D, tryptophan, and omega 3 fatty acids supplementation could potentially lift serotonin levels in the brain enough to relieve some of the symptoms without side effects.

New Hormone Discovery: Could it Lead to Ground Breaking Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes?

by Eagle Biosciences

A recent study revealed
that researchers and Scientists at University of Southern
California Leonard Davis School of Gerontology have made an amazing
discovery of a new hormone, Mitochondrial-Derived
Peptide( a.k.a. MOTS-c). This hormone has been found to
mimic the effects of exercise in that it has proven to combat weight gain
caused by a high fat diet and to balance metabolism. The mechanism of
action for hormone involves triggering a physiological responsein
muscle tissue which is the prime location of insulin sensitivity restoration
thereby normalizing or counteracting diet-induced
and age-dependent insulin resistance.

The effects of MOTS-c has been
tested in mice by injecting mice that had been fed a high fat diet with this
hormone and researchers concluded that this study was very successful. In
fact, the results revealed that not only had this hormone suppressed the
effects of a high fat diet such as growing obese and developing insulin
resistance, it also reversed age-dependent insulin resistance.

This study certainly brings
hope for age-dependent diseases such as diabetes but potentially a whole host
of other disease/conditions as well. The discovery of MOTS-c is a major
advance in the identification and search for a new target for therapy and
treatments. Learn More
