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...

An FDA-approved drug used for preventing recurrence of breast cancer shows promise in fighting life-threatening fungal infections common in immune-compromised patients, such as infants born prematurel...
Health and Medicine | Read morePlant Microbe Shares Features with Drug-Resistant Pathogen
An international team of scientists has discovered extensive similarities between a strain of bacteria commonly associated with plants and one increasingly linked to opportunistic infections in hospit...
Life Sciences | Read moreNew technology shows promise against resistant staph infections
Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have combined their revolutionary new drug-delivery system with a powerful antimicrobial agent to treat potentially deadly drug-...
Health and Medicine | Read moreStudy finds multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria high in long-term care
Residents at long-term care facilities are one of the main reservoirs of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Epidemiological studies have focused primarily on two common antimicrobial-resistant organism...
Life Sciences | Read moreBreaking the barrier: Discovery of anti-resistance factors and novel ocean drugs
Investigations into coral disease, red tides and other marine environmental issues have led to discoveries of new chemicals as a source for pharmaceuticals. These chemicals function as antibiotics for...

A study by the Hopkins researchers found increased levels of pathogenic bacteria, both susceptible and drug-resistant, on surfaces and in the air inside cars traveling behind trucks that carry broiler...
Life Sciences | Read moreDiscovering drugs, biofuels in tropical seas
The National Institutes of Health has awarded $4 million to a group of Philippine and American scientists led by Oregon Health & Science University to aid in the discovery of new molecules and biofuel...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreDisinfectants can make bacteria resistant to treatment
Low levels of these chemicals, called biocides, can make the potentially lethal bacterium Staphylococcus aureus remove toxic chemicals from the cell even more efficiently, potentially making it resist...
Health and Medicine | Read moreResearchers uncover molecule that keeps pathogens like salmonella in check
The researchers found that the molecule LED209 interferes with the biochemical signals that cause bacteria in our bodies to release toxins.“What we have here is a completely novel approach to ...

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...
Life Sciences | Read moreProtein Fibrils as Alternative Plastics?
Amyloid deposits in tissues and organs are linked to a number of diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, type II diabetes, and prion diseases such as BSE. However, amyloids are not just patholog...
Life Sciences | Read moreAlligator blood may put the bite on antibiotic-resistant infections
They described how proteins in gator blood may provide a source of powerful new antibiotics to help fight infections associated with diabetic ulcers, severe burns, and “superbugs” that are resistant t...
