Certain regions of the SARS-CoV-2 genome might be a suitable target for future drugs. This is what researchers at Goethe University, together with their collaborators…
“The distinction between the past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion,” Albert Einstein wrote. Perhaps this is nowhere more evident than in…
Adults infected with SARS-CoV-2 exhale different metabolites in their breath than uninfected people, and dogs and diagnostic devices can detect these changes. Now, researchers reporting…
Bacteria known as group B Streptococcus (GBS) are a common cause of blood infections, meningitis, and stillbirth in newborns. Although GBS infections can often be…
Blocking a key enzyme could kill parasites that have evolved resistance to existing drugs. Every year, more than 200 million people are infected with malaria,…
A new approach to modifying microbes’ metabolic processes will speed up production of innovative bio-based fuels, materials, and chemicals. Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory…
Tailoring levels of enzyme has many potential applications, including renewable production of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, improved biofuel production and/or timber durability, and a path for long-term…
