Hidden bacterial molecules in the brain reveal new secrets of sleep

New studies show that a bacterial molecule, peptidoglycan, is present in the brain and fluctuates with sleep patterns. This challenges the idea that sleep is solely brain-driven, instead suggesting it ...

FtsZ-mediated spatial–temporal control over septal cell wall synthesis

Bacteria utilize a tubulin-like GTPase, FtsZ, to organize cell wall enzymes during cell division. FtsZ forms treadmilling polymers along the septum circumference and drives the directional movement of ...

How is Cochrane advancing responsible AI for evidence synthesis?

Systematic reviews are built on the principles of rigor, transparency, and replicability. However, many current AI solutions don’t meet these principles. This risks a surge in unreliable, biased and ...
