  • Bacteria "talk" to each other, sending chemical information to coordinate attacks. What if we could listen to what they were saying? Nanophysicist Fatima AlZahra'a Alatraktchi invented a tool to spy on bacterial chatter and translate their secret communication into human language. Her work could pave the way for early diagnosis of disease -- before we even get sick.

      I didn't dislike. I'm more respectful than that. But everytime I have to see another woman dressed in large black clothes and hiding the part of his body whe her brain is kept because otherwise she would offend muslim man when you are looking or be taken as an avaliable "public woman" when you're not anymore, i feel the urge to use my hands for something else than disliking. Here in Europe you can see rich an aristocratic muslim ladies in Paris or the Côte d'Azur dressed the occidental way throwing away hundreds of thousands of euros while poor girls are beaten to death, lapidated or arrested, even reported by their own families, for the crime of not wearing a hijab. I'm mad at all of this. I understand people disliked.

    Because lyme is such a tricky infection to detect, perhaps this could help with earlier diagnosis. LYME must be treated almost immediately after infected, so this could be ground breaking!

    This says that bacteria release signals before they seriously attack, and this women has tests that uncover bacteria's early signalling before the culture is positive. Her reaction is to treat early with antibiotics. Antibiotics results in microbiome responding with more virulent strains. Perhaps there is an alternative to antibiotics. Maybe intermittent fasting- not eating for 12- 16- 20 ? hours per day, keeps the bacterial microbiome from fighting, or becoming virulent by making them thin out on a daily basis- instead of them reproducing more by making their food constantly available in high amounts. Could this explain why under-eating has always been associated with longevity?
