Nemo, the adorable clownfish in the movie Finding Nemo , rubs himself all over the anemone he lives in to keep it from stinging and eating him like it does most fish. That rubbing leads the makeup of microbes covering the clownfish to change, according to a new study. Having bacterial cooties in common with anemones may help the clownfish cozily nest in anemones' venomous tentacles, a weird symbiosis that life scientists -- including now a team from the Georgia Institute of Technology -- have tried for decades to figure out. The marine researchers studied microbes on clownfish who mixed and mingled with fish-killing anemones. "It's the iconic mutualism between a host and a partner, and we knew that microbes are on every surface of each animal," said Frank Stewart, an associate professor in Georgia Tech's School of Biological Sciences. "In this particular mutualism, these surfaces are covered with stuff that microbes love to eat: mucus." Swabbing mucu...

Some fungi are smelly and coated in mucus. Others have gills that glow in the dark. Some are delicious; others, poisonous. Some spur euphoria when ingested. Some produce antibiotics. All of these fungi -- and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, more -- occur in North America. Of those that are known to science, 44,488 appear in a new checklist of North American fungi, published this month in the journal Mycologia . "This checklist provides the basis for understanding our national mycoflora, which is timely since there is renewed interest in cataloging all North American fungi," said Illinois Natural History Survey mycologist Andrew Miller, who led the effort to compile the data. "Hundreds of citizen scientists are interested in helping with this project." By conservative estimates, scientists have so far documented less than one-third of all fungi thought to exist in North America, said Miller, who also is an affiliate of the department of plant biology at t...

The next generation of high-tech adhesives may get a jump-start from the science behind sticky frog tongues. New research led by Oregon State University’s College of Engineering finds the chemical makeup of frog mucus could guide design for glues used in mechanics and medicine. Joe Baio is an assistant professor of bioengineering at OSU and co-author of the study. He’s also become quite the frog mucus enthusiast. “Yeah, so what we did was… basically stuck a clean glass slide, like a microscope slide and put a fly right behind the slide,” Baio says. “And then convinced the frog to strike the slide and leave a tongue print, a mucus print on the surface.” Turns out frog tongue mucus is a pressure-sensitive adhesive. In the amphibian’s mouth, it’s in a sort of “off state” but when the tongue strikes at prey (like a tasty cricket) and then retracts—the force causes a chemical structure change and the mucus becomes very sticky. Through chemical analysis, Baio’s team proved for the first...

LAHORE - Like the previous years, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Day went unnoticed with no government or private institution even bothering to perform the ritual of arranging any event. As the event fall on November 21 (Wednesday) when the nation was celebrating Eid Milad-un-Nabi, there was room for arranging COPD Day relating events prior to or after that date but it did not happen.  Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) is observing the day on November 21 since 2002 under different themes in collaboration with health care professionals to raise awareness about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and improve care. World COPD Day theme this year was “never too early, never too late”. More than 2,410 million people worldwide are suffering from COPD with Pakistan sharing the burden of 6.9 million people. As per the pulmonologists, COPD will become the leading cause of death in future even ahead of diabetes and depression if not giv...

IOWA CITY, Iowa (KCRG-TV9)-- More than 10 million people across the country have chronic bronchitis. Now Researchers feel that they may have a cure, but they need help. The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) is looking for people to take part in a trial study that may have a cure for chronic bronchitis. It won't cost the patients anything. In fact, they will actually get paid. Chronic bronchitis is bronchitis that lasts longer than two years. About half of the people who smoke have the symptoms that include coughing up mucus and shortness of breath. Chronic Bronchitis can increase a person's risk for a respiratory infection. The inflammation can also do damage to the lungs. The trial works by a scope going into the lungs and delivering energy into the airwaves that will kill all the cells that are producing mucus. “There is some preliminary data showing that looked that within a year, there was an improvement, a significant improvement in their systems,” sai...

Surely by now science has uncovered all of the innermost workings of the humble nose. It is, after all, our most front-and-center organ, navigating the subtlest details of our world one whiff at a time. The nose keeps us grounded, playing a vital role in easing anxiety and fortifying memory . We even have an idea why it has evolved to look the way it does . But it turns out the nose knows a few billion more secrets. New research from the Massachusetts Ear and Eye Infirmary suggests that cells in our nasal passageway form a powerful antibacterial brigade. When we inhale bacteria, researchers found, nasal cells secrete tiny fluid-filled sacs called exosomes, which attack the intruder like a swarm of angry wasps. "Similar to kicking a hornet's nest, the nose releases billions of exosomes into the mucus at the first sign of bacteria, killing the bacteria and arming cells throughout the airway with a natural, potent defense," senior author Benjamin S. Bleier noted in a ...

Mucus – friend or foe? For the first time, the mucus in our body is formed in early childhood when we move to the cooked food. The growth of the mucus accumulates and fills all the cavities of our bodies, informs The Quebec Times. Why the slime? In the body of a healthy person produces 1.5 liters of mucus daily. This is a normal and necessary process. Everything in our body is in contact with the external environment, secretes mucus and it is protected. Mucus is a gel-like viscous liquid. Contains water – 95%, proteins 3% (mucin and antibodies), 1% salt, antiseptics etc. Produced by goblet cells in the mucous membranes of the organs of vision, digestion, respiration, urinary system, intestines. It covers the mucous surfaces in all internal hollow organs – respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, ureters, urinary bladder, serves as a lubricant, included in the composition of physiological fluids (saliva, urine, bile, etc.). There are a few places of the main accumulation of muc...

A new test was able to assess various properties of the mucus that accumulates in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis and other pulmonary diseases, and may help to find treatments — or a combination of treatments — for CF patients that can make coughing a more viable way of clearing mucus from their airways. Developed by researchers at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , the assay was described in the study “ Roles of mucus adhesion and cohesion in cough clearance ,” published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences . Pulmonary mucus clearance is a critical mechanism in protecting the body from potentially harmful microorganisms and particulates — mucus works to trap pathogens. But in illnesses like cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and asthma, this clearance system is faulty, and the resulting accumulation of thick mucus inside the lungs that promote infection and impair the respiratory function. Efficient m...
