A lift in US soft drinks sales and lower commodity costs have led Pepsi Bottling Group to raise its full-year earnings guidance.

Researchers have shown that a blood-pressure medicine has reversed the effects of early-stage liver failure in some patients.

A chemist says that prodding proteins to fold by suddenly removing high pressure (a technique also known as "pressure jumping") through electrical bursting makes for a "kindlier, gentler way" of inducing proteins to fold.

A mineral found at health food stores could be the key to developing a new line of antibiotics for bacteria that commonly cause diarrhea, tooth decay and, in some severe cases, death. Selenium is found in a number of proteins. New research shows that interrupting the way selenoproteins are made can halt the growth of the super bug Clostridium difficile and Treponema denticola, a major contributor to gum disease.

Ocean acidification, a direct result of increased carbon dioxide emission, is set to change the Earth's marine ecosystems forever and may have a direct impact on our economy, resulting in substantial revenue declines and job losses.

A mixture of some organic acids and some extracts from plants turns out to be enough to greatly reduce pathogenic bacteria on chicken breast meat. Add some irradiation to the mix and it makes a lethal combination against the bacteria.

Initial results from research designed to discover genetic markers that may predict individuals at risk for serious drug induced liver injury (DILI) have been released. Analysis of a subset of DNA patients has led to the discovery that HLA-B*5701 is a major determinant of liver injury induced by flucloxacillin. Flucloxacillin is an antibiotic widely used in Europe and Australia, mainly in the treatment of staphylococcal infections.

People with type 1 diabetes who have already been successful in achieving recommended blood sugar goals can further benefit from using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices, according to results of a major multi-center clinical trial.

Intestinal permeability and an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine are both associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, according to new findings.
