Using insects to test for drug safety
Neutrophils, which are a type of white blood cell and part of the mammalian immune system, and haematocytes, which are cells that carry out a similar function in insects, react in the same way to infe...

Life Sciences | Read moreNew Antibiotic Beats Superbugs at Their Own Game
The problem with antibiotics is that, eventually, bacteria outsmart them and become resistant. But by targeting the gene that confers such resistance, a new drug may be able to finally outwit them....
Life Sciences | Read moreBacterial resistance is futile against wound-cleaning laser
Research published today in the open access journal BMC Microbiology describes the use of a dye, indocyanine green, which produces bacteria-killing chemicals when lit by a specific kind of laser light...
