A discovery by Weizmann scientists has astounded the world of microbiology (and the BBC). Every cell in the human body makes bacteria-killing chemicals to recycle proteins. These natural antibiotics could transform future research into combating resistant bacteria. https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/life-sciences/new-immune-mechanism-revealed-cellular-trash https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpv4jww3r4eo https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08615-w

Researchers from Israel’s Weizmann Institute have developed IPHOMED – a method for mapping all the proteins in a person’s microbiome. Some act as natural antibiotics, killing good bacteria and possibly causing inflammatory bowel disease. Problem proteins in food can also … Continue reading →
