Harnessing the Sun to tackle period poverty
A re-usable sanitary towel that could potentially kill up to 99.9% of bacteria when exposed to sunlight is being developed by scientists at Cardiff University. The team is developing a special type of fabric that is infused with non-toxic metals acting as a catalyst, harnessing energy from the Sun and producing compounds capable of killing bacteria, removing stains and neutralizing odours.

Using two CRISPR enzymes, a COVID diagnostic in only 20 minutes
The reactions involved in the FIND-IT assay to detect infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. When the Cas13 enzyme (bottom left) binds to its target RNA, it snips a molecule (orange and light blue ribbon) to release an activator (orange) that supercharges the Csm6 nuclease (right) to cleave and release fluorescent molecules that light up (green) and signal the presence of viral RNA.

Women voice frustration over current care for recurrent urinary tract infections
Women with frequent urinary tract infections say they're unhappy with what they perceive as their doctors' overuse of antibiotics and with the limited treatment options available to them, according to a study led by researchers from UCLA and Cedars-Sinai. The research, recently published in the Journal of Urology, highlights the need for physicians to do a better job finding out why patients get recurrent UTIs, to develop strategies to prevent them and to avoid the unnecessary use of antibiotics, which over time can lead to resistance to the medication.

Salmonella: Intestinal flora as reason for asymptomatic disease progression
Salmonella infections can result in a broad spectrum of illnesses. According to the latest research findings, one reason why some cases are harmless while others are very severe lies in the intestinal flora. An infection with Salmonella can have very different consequences. While some infected people do not notice the infection with the bacteria at all - this is called an asymptomatic progression - others suffer from severe gastrointestinal complaints.
