Beneficial Eye Bacteria Helps Prevent Infection

A team of microbiologists identified Corynebacterium mastitidis as a commensal bacterium living in the conjunctiva of the eye where it induces the production of interleukin (IL)-17, a signaling protein critical for host defense. More...

Nanoparticle Treatment Cures Bacterial Infection in Model

A novel approach for treating bacterial infections is based on the use of porous silicon nanoparticles to transport a combination of bactericidal peptides, which penetrate the cell membranes of Gram-negative bacteria and kill them with minimal unpleasant side effects. More...

RSV Non-Structural Protein Interferes with Host Immune Response

A team of molecular virologists used X-ray crystallography to establish the structure of a protein that enhances the infectivity of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) by interfering with the host's immune response. More...
