This research investigates glutamate as an alternative to antibiotics for treating diarrhoea in piglets. Early separation from their mothers causes stress, weakening immunity and increasing infection risk. Supplementing piglets with glutamate improved gut health, reduced diarrhoea, and enhanced growth, offering a potential strategy to reduce antibiotic resistance.
Tuberculosis remains deadly despite relying on decades-old antibiotics. This research uses computational methods to identify immune response similarities between TB and other diseases, enabling drug repurposing. By borrowing already approved treatments, this approach aims to restore immune balance, combat drug resistance, and accelerate the development of new TB therapies.
