A new treatment for eliminating surface bacteria using blue light and carvacrol, a phenol derived from edible oils, creates a photoxic, bacteria-specific reaction that does not contribute to antibiotic resistance. The technique, ...
Researchers from the Institute of Glycomics have identified a novel bacterial sensor in Campylobacter species that enable the pathogenic cells to find suitable host cells. The findings have been published in Science Signalling.
Insofar as the war on cancer used to be fought by surgical strikes, chemical warfare and nuclear bombardment, today's and tomorrow's cancer battles are fought through information warfare. The treatment of blood cancers, in ...
Researchers from Hefei University of Technology in China have recently published an exhaustive review in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry on emerging roles of small kinase inhibitors in the treatment of diseases. In contrast ...
NRF2 is just one of thousands of critical proteins in the cell, but it is one that we now know a lot about. Once any molecule achieves a certain level of celebrity status, it tends to acquire a groupie following in the supplement ...
Before the pandemic, the lab of Stanford University biochemist Peter S. Kim focused on developing vaccines for HIV, Ebola and pandemic influenza. But, within days of closing their campus lab space as part of COVID-19 precautions, ...
