Alcohol and medications, thirst control, and containing genetically modified bacteria

Many at Risk for Alcohol-Medication Interactions A large number of people may combine alcoholic beverages with prescription medications known to interact with alcohol, an analysis suggests. Scientists Identify Thirst-Controlling Neurons Researchers revealed one type of neuron that promotes thirst and another that suppresses it. The findings give insight into how the brain controls fluid levels in the body. Containing Genetically Modified Bacteria Bacteria were altered to make them unable to survive without a synthetic nutrient. This technique may prevent genetically modified bacteria from surviving in the wild.     Popular Stories from past issues: Drug Activates Brown Fat and Increases Metabolism Immune System Shaped by Environment More Than Genes New Brain Pathways for Old Memories Diet Affects Autoinflammatory Disease Via Gut Microbes Skin Microbes and the Immune Response NIH Research Matters is on Facebook!
