A grand return to near normal A French connection ensures a socially distanced full house published : 8 Apr 2021 at 04:00 Photos courtesy of RBSO All tickets were sold out for the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra's concert late last month in the Main Hall of the Thailand Cultural Centre, the first they have performed there since January. There was a highly sophisticated French theme to the evening's proceedings. Jacques Ibert's popular Divertissement was followed by the Introduction And Rondo Capriccioso by Camille Saint-Saëns for violin and orchestra, with RBS...

Light flips genetic switch in bacteria inside transparent worms HOUSTON - (Dec. 22, 2020) - Baylor College of Medicine researcher Meng Wang had already shown that bacteria that make a metabolite called colanic acid (CA) could extend the lifespan of worms in her lab by as much as 50%, but her collaboration with Rice University synthetic biologist Jeffrey Tabor is providing tools to answer the bigger question of how the metabolite imparts longer life. In a study published in eLife, Wang, Tabor and colleagues showed they could use different colors of light to turn gut bacteria genes on and off w...

 E-Mail Research has shown that gut microbes can influence several aspects of the host's life, including aging. Given the complexity and heterogeneity of the human gut environment, elucidating how a specific microbial species contributes to longevity has been challenging. To explore the influence of bacterial products on the aging process, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University developed a method that uses light to directly control gene expression and metabolite production from bacteria residing in the gut of the laboratory worm Caenorhabditis elegans. They report in t...
