Particulate Matter in the air (or PM) can be very bad for our health. Staying away from traffic as much as possible is one way to keep our exposure levels down, but what about in our actual houses?

Physicians have relied on a class of antibiotics called polymyxins to fight potentially life-threatening Gram-negative bacterial infections for more than 80 years. These drugs are typically reserved ...

The new study, published in the journal Nature Microbiology, revealed in high-resolution images and biochemical experiments how the antibiotic Polymyxin B rapidly caused "bumps and bulges" to break ...

Researchers have revealed how polymyxins, crucial last-resort antibiotics, break down bacterial armor by forcing cells to overproduce and shed it. Astonishingly, the drugs only kill bacteria when they ...

The way antibiotics called polymyxins pierce the armour of bacteria has been revealed in stunning detail by high-resolution microscopy, which could help develop new treatments for drug-resistant ...

The University College London and Imperial College London focused on antibiotics called Polymyxin B, which kill harmful Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli. These bacteria are highly difficult to ...

A team led by UCL (University College London) and Imperial College London researchers has shown for the first time how life-saving antibiotics called polymyxins pierce the armor of harmful bacteria.

Tooth decay is the most common health condition worldwide. While it is preventable and treatable, billions of people are living with cavities and the pain that accompanies them. Given the massive ...

The research is opening new frontiers in pest control and evolutionary biology. An international group of scientists has uncovered a strange tubular structure within Profftella, a bacterium that lives ...

Short peptides can self-assemble into net-like structures that kill bacteria. Now, researchers have discovered how to control and enhance this ability.

Sexually transmitted disease rates for U.S. adults fell last year, but syphilis in newborns continued to rise, according to new government data posted Wednesday. The Centers for Disease Control and ...

Abstract: In ophthalmic surgery, surgeons or robots manipulate a light probe and an instrument around two separated trocars following sclerotomy to achieve orbital control for eyeball pose adjustment ...
