Researchers discover antifungal molecule
Fungal infections are killing thousands of Americans each year, some with a morbidity rate of nearly 80%. To make matters worse, only a handful of antifungal treatments are available, and even those are becoming less effective as fungi become more re.....»»
Researchers find degradation of cell wall key in the spread of resistance
A study at Umeå University, Sweden, provides new clues in the understanding of how antibiotic resistance spreads. The study shows how an enzyme breaks down the bacteria's protective outer layer, the cell wall, and thus facilitates the transfer of ge.....»»
Only through machine learning and AI can we come to grips with all chemicals around us, say researchers
The JACS Au has just published an invited perspective by Dr. Saer Samanipour and his team on the daunting challenge of mapping all the chemicals around us. Samanipour, an Assistant Professor at the Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences of the.....»»
Wild bats found to possess high cognitive abilities previously considered exclusive to humans
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have tracked free-ranging Egyptian fruit bats from a colony based in the TAU's I. Meier Segals Garden for Zoological Research to answer a long-standing scientific question: Do animals have high and complex cognitive.....»»
Not Everyone Loses Weight on Ozempic
For many patients, GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy lead to substantial weight loss. But some see much less benefit, and researchers are trying to figure out why......»»
Nanorobot kills cancer cells in mice with hidden weapon
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed nanorobots that kill cancer cells in mice. The robot's weapon is hidden in a nanostructure and is exposed only in the tumor microenvironment, sparing healthy cells. The study is published.....»»
Sixty-million-year-old grape seeds reveal how the death of the dinosaurs may have paved the way for grapes to spread
If you've ever snacked on raisins or enjoyed a glass of wine, you may, in part, have the extinction of the dinosaurs to thank for it. In a discovery described in the journal Nature Plants, researchers found fossil grape seeds that range from 60 to 19.....»»
