I just wanna say that as someone who has a bug hyperfixiation rn and enjoys making ocs based off of bugs that this blog is like, a character design idea haven to me at this point because of all the bugs. Thank you for your service.

String identified: t aa a tat a a a g at a ag c a g tat t g , a caact g a a t at t t ca a t g. Ta c.

Closest match: Balneolaceae bacterium isolate c63fa63d-abcb-44aa-a049-ecdd770e9aed genome assembly, chromosome: 1 Common name: The Balneolaceae family of bacteria.

(This organism has no associated image. Good luck making a character design out of that.)

There’s really nothing like being a science student: that feeling of both drowning in work and stress but also somehow enjoying it at the same time.

A type of bacteria commonly found in human oral and gut flora could play a major role in the development of endometriosis, scientists have discovered – potentially giving us crucial insight into the development of the painful condition, and opening up new ways to treat it. That would mean fresh hope for the millions of women living with the debilitating effects of endometriosis. The condition can lead to heavy periods, difficulty getting pregnant, and prolonged periods of pain, and experts aren't sure what causes it, though they have a few ideas. In a new study, a team of researchers from Nagoya University and other institutions in Japan looked at tissue samples from 79 women with endometriosis and 76 healthy women, finding a strong correlation between Fusobacterium and the disease. Endometriosis occurs when cells similar to those in the endometrium – the layer of tissue covering the inside of the uterus – start growing in other areas, like the ovaries and fallopian tubes. It's in the endometrium where the bacteria was found. "In a cohort of women, 64 percent of patients with endometriosis but less than 10 percent of [healthy] controls were found to have Fusobacterium infiltration in the endometrium," write the researchers in their published paper.

Understanding Cyanobacteria

Over 2 billion years ago, cyanobacteria emerged as Earth's first photosynthesizing organisms. Today they are widespread and critical contributors to both carbon and nitrogen cycles.
