Drugstore in the Dirt
French clay that kills several kinds of disease-causing bacteria is at the forefront of new research into age-old, nearly forgotten, but surprisingly potent cures. view more (2007-10-26)
UT Southwestern: Killing bacteria isn't enough to restore immune function after infection
A bacterial molecule that initially signals to animals that they have been invaded must be wiped out by a special enzyme before an infected animal can regain full health, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2008-09-11)
Study reveals why certain drug combinations backfire
Combination drug therapy has become a staple for treating many infections. For instance, doctors treat extensively drug resistant forms of tuberculosis with one drug that breaks down the pathogen's protective barriers and opens the door for another to deliver the deathblow. view more (2009-11-16)
Tweaking Taxol points way to a greener, more productive future
As the effective cancer-treatment drug Taxol enters its next generation, Michigan State University announces discoveries which point to both environmentally friendly ways to produce more Taxol, and ultimately innovations to produce a more potent second-generation drug. view more (2006-03-27)
Using catalysts to stamp nanopatterns without ink
Using enzymes from E. coli bacteria, Duke University chemists and engineers have introduced a hundred-fold improvement in the precision of features imprinted to create microdevices such as labs-on-a-chip. view more (2007-09-27)
Common bacteria pirate natural mechanism to get inside cells
Bacteria and viruses utilize a natural mechanism to get inside cells and grow, researchers say. view more (2006-01-26)
Bacteria pack their own demise
Numerous pathogens contain an 'internal time bomb', a deadly mechanism that can be used against them. After years of work, VIB researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) were able to determine the structure and operating mechanism of the proteins involved. view more (2009-07-31)
Vanadium appears to play role in speeding recovery from infections
Dietary supplements containing vanadium are used by body builders to help beef up muscles and by some diabetic people to control blood sugar. view more (2005-10-12)
Pair of studies offer new clues to combat antibiotic resistance
In the continuing battle against antibiotic resistance, two new studies shed light on the complex defense mechanisms pathogenic bacteria use to evade antibiotic attack, an understanding of which could lead to new, more effective antibiotics to help save lives and combat the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. view more (2006-01-25)
New way to target and kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria found
Putting bacteria on birth control could stop the spread of drug-resistant microbes, and researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have found a way to do just that. view more (2007-07-10)
Tiny shock absorbers help bacteria stick around inside the body
Bacteria have hair-like protrusions with a sticky protein on the tip that lets them cling to surfaces. The coiled, bungee cord-like structure of the protrusions helps the bacteria hang on tightly, even under rough fluid flow inside the body. view more (2006-08-30)
Understanding a cell's split personality aids synthetic circuits
As scientists work toward making genetically altered bacteria create living "circuits" to produce a myriad of useful proteins and chemicals, they have logically assumed that the single-celled organisms would always respond to an external command in the same way. view more (2009-10-05)
Pregnancy research leads to progress on premature delivery
The University of Rochester has filed a patent on several ideas to help prevent early labor and the premature delivery of low-birth-weight babies. view more (2006-03-23)
Bacteria that cause urinary tract infections invade bladder cells
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found definitive proof that some of the bacteria that plague women with urinary tract infections (UTIs) are entrenched inside human bladder cells. view more (2007-12-18)
Even before tomato warning, many Americans lacked confidence in the food safety system
A new national study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health Project on the Public and Biological Security finds that, in spite of a number of food safety incidents in recent years, most Americans remain confident that the food produced in the United States is safe. However, many have concerns about the safety of imported food produced in... view more... (2008-06-13)
U of Alberta study discovers how proteins help repair DNA
A person's DNA is often damaged by a number of different chemical contaminants, and if not repaired properly, it can lead to the development of cancer and other diseases. view more (2009-06-16)
Molecular DNA Switch Found to be the Same for All Life
The molecular machinery that starts the process by which a biological cell divides into two identical daughter cells apparently worked so well early on that evolution has conserved it across the eons in all forms of life on Earth. view more (2006-07-18)
Work with power grids leads to cell biology discovery
Gene therapy, in which a working gene is inserted into a cell to replace a faulty or absent gene, is a promising experimental technique for the prevention and treatment of disease. view more (2008-03-18)
Researchers Genetically Engineer Microorganisms into Tiny Factories
Microorganisms may soon be efficiently and inexpensively producing novel pharmaceutical compounds, such as flavonoids, that fight aging, cancer or obesity, as well as high-value chemicals. view more (2007-09-19)
Development Of Effective, Affordable Food Safety Technique
Engineers and scientists developing electronic systems to make commercial food production safer by reducing the incidence of E-coli and listeria infection of food during production have received a share of £900,000 awarded to the University of Strathclyde. The money will be used to progress six research projects towards commercialisation... view more... (2001-04-09)
