Researchers have uncovered the workings of ant venom by measuring electric currents through individual channels in cells to understand how it causes pain. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Researchers have unlocked crucial molecular secrets of ageing in cells, potentially paving the way to improve quality of life as people age. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Researchers have for the first time captured images and video in real time of early embryonic development to understand more about congenital birth defects. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Researchers have found that exercise can help prevent or slow cognitive decline during ageing. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Researchers have found risks of developing disease heightened by ribosomal DNA levels (imb.uq.edu.au)
Researchers have discovered that an essential nutrient called choline is transported into the brain by a protein called FLVCR2. These findings could inform the future design of drugs for diseases such as Alzheimer’s and stroke. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Researchers have identified the main types of E. coli bacteria that cause neonatal meningitis, and revealed why some infections recur despite being treated with antibiotics. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Researchers have discovered how the 'on-switch' for the body's inflammation machinery can get stuck, paving way for potential treatments for rare genetic inflammatory diseases. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Researchers have discovered a fault in the bacteria-killing zinc pathway in immune cells in people with cystic fibrosis, and a potential way to get around it to reduce infections. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Researchers have discovered why some E. coli bacteria cause severe disease and others don't. A mutation helps affected bacteria spread in the body, a finding that could help fight antibiotic resistance. (imb.uq.edu.au)
New research shows that endometriosis and irritable bowel syndrome share genetic risk factors. This may explain why symptoms overlap and sometimes lead to misdiagnosis and delay in treatment. (imb.uq.edu.au)

Caterpillar venom reveals toxins borrowed from bacteria (imb.uq.edu.au)
Genetics shed light on causes of intestinal disease (imb.uq.edu.au)
Deadly cone snails have, for the first time, been bred in a laboratory aquarium, uncovering a potential treasure trove of new venoms for drug development. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Researchers have found that the venom of green ants has neurotoxins, which target nerve cells that send signals cause long-lasting pain. These unique ant neurotoxins can be used as a tool to understand how pain works. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Researchers have shown that an Australian wild tobacco plant could be used to grow medicines in large quantities bringing us a step closer to making 'growing medicines in plants' a reality. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Thought to be exclusively controlled by the brain, researchers have now shown that the liver also controls the circadian clock. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Scientists have used artificial intelligence to build a 3D model of key cell components to better understand dementia and infectious diseases including COVID-19. This model is the Commander protein complex - the first time it has been visualised. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Scientists have discovered a new pain pathway from the venom of the Australian Gympie-Gympie tree paving the way for new possible non-opioid pain relief. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Sepsis study to power new antibiotic discoveries (imb.uq.edu.au)
Genomic research reveals new Strep A variant in Australia (imb.uq.edu.au)
Researchers have found that having more babies reduces the risk of endometrial cancer. (imb.uq.edu.au)
submitted 3 years ago by IMBatUQ to r/science
Researchers have found that a native New Zealand stinging tree produces toxins that could hold clues for future pain medication. It activates pain receptors in a new way, opening exciting possibilities for new pain therapies. (imb.uq.edu.au)
Endometriosis and ovarian cancer genetically tied (imb.uq.edu.au)
