Scientists have uncovered how graphene oxide pulls off a remarkable trick: it hunts down and destroys harmful bacteria while ...

Researchers at Durham have helped unlock a new understanding of how bacteria import antimicrobial peptides—the molecules that can kill or inhibit microbes. The research sheds new light on SbmA, a key ...

A fungal infection that resists every drug a doctor throws at it. A bacterial outbreak on a wheat field that shrugs off ...

A study published in Advanced Functional Materials ("Biocompatible but Antibacterial Mechanism of Graphene Oxide for Sustainable Antibiotics") now provides direct experimental evidence for that ...

Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and bind to receptors on the surface of target cells, a molecular arms race that ...

Antibiotics are designed to kill harmful bacteria and help the body recover from infection. But some antibiotics may also push bacteria to release tiny particles that can make inflammation worse.
