A team of researchers in Singapore has developed a technique for bioengineering a bacterium to seek out and kill targeted pathogens. In their paper published in the journal ACS Synthetic Biology, the team describes the technique ...
(Phys.org) -- Though it might seem counterintuitive to use the venom from a scorpion for healing purposes, researchers in China have found that applying an amount of a peptide found in scorpion venom to bacterial infections ...
Headed by the Kiel zoologist Professor Thomas Bosch, a team of scientists from Germany and Russia succeeded in deciphering the mechanisms, for the first time, with which embryos of the freshwater polyp Hydra protect themselves ...
