Recent studies have revealed a promising new approach to treating antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections: photodynamic action. This method involves using light to activate a photosensitizer molecule, which, when combined with oxygen, produces reactive oxygen species that damage the bacterial cell membrane. The result is a weakened bacterial cell that is more susceptible to antibiotics. In a study published in the journal Science Advances, researchers found that the photodynamic action weakened the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, making treatments more effective and potentially leading to improved outcomes.

A new study recently published in the journal Nature Communications has revealed some fascinating insights into the diets of early primates. Researchers studied the fossil teeth of a species of early primate called Anchomomys that lived in what is now Southern Europe between 42 and 35 million years ago. The fossil teeth allowed them to reconstruct the diet of Anchomomys, and what they found was surprising. Analysis of the teeth revealed that Anchomomys was an omnivore, meaning it ate both plant and animal material—something that was previously thought to be unique to humans.
