EXCERPT: [...] In the first experiment, a group of mice were colonized with gut bacteria from the humans afflicted with MS and another group was inoculated with fecal samples from the healthy humans. When both groups were induced to have the MS-like disease, those that had their guts colonized with bacteria from MS patients experienced more severe disease outcomes. Furthermore, the mice that received the fecal sample from healthy control patients saw enhanced anti-inflammatory responses compared to mice that received samples from MS patients, potentially mitigating disease severity....

EXCERPT: Researchers have built a team of DNA robots that work together. The robots recognise and transport molecules. In the future, DNA robots could help deliver medicine to specific cells, or build nanodevices....
