Combination Drug Screening Strategy Identifies Obesity-Diabetes Treatment Target
A drug discovery strategy that combined phenotypic screening with a target-identification approach was used to identify a novel drug target that, when treated, relieved symptoms of metabolic disease in mouse models. More...02 Jan 2014

Deadly Drug-Resistant Strain of Escherichia coli Emerged as a Single Genetic Clone
Molecular microbiologists working with advanced genomic research tools have shown that an extremely virulent and drug-resistant strain of Escherichia coli appeared about 10 years ago following mutations in two genes. More...02 Jan 2014


Antitoxin Vaccine Protects Laboratory Animals Against Staphylococcus Infection
A vaccine comprising a cocktail of superantigens and cytolysins protected rabbits challenged with virulent strains of Staphylococcus aureus while vaccines based on bacterial surface antigens failed to protect the animals or actually increased the severity of the infection. More...31 Dec 2013

Graphene Sandwich Technology Reveals Clues into Inner Workings of Proteins
British scientists have discovered that the most fragile, microscopic compounds can be saved from the harmful effects of radiation when under the microscope if they are “sandwiched” between two sheets of graphene. More...30 Dec 2013
