Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing ...
N.C – A scientific journey decades in the making at Duke University has found a new antibiotic strategy to defeat gram-negative bacteria like Salmonella, Pseudomonas and E. coli, the culprits in many ...
Most major biological molecules, including all proteins, DNA and RNA, point in one direction or another. In other words, they are chiral, or handed. Like how your left glove fits only your left hand ...
Researchers are also applying synthetic biology to engineer living cells and cell-free systems that can sense and dynamically respond to information in our bodies – moving us toward an era of ...
Human patients treated with antibiotics suffer damage to their intestinal microbiota (lower branch) which causes its normal composition to be thrown off-balance. Known as “dysbiosis,” this ...
Antibiotics are indispensable for treating bacterial infections. But why are they sometimes ineffective, even when the bacteria are not resistant? In their latest study, researchers challenge the ...
Until recently, scientists believed the possibilities of antibiotics production from many of these microbes were close to exhaustion. Thanks to the huge technological advances in recent years, our ...
Preliminary data indicates patients experienced either a complete cure or significant improvement in infection symptoms following treatment with ...
