Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a new drug delivery system using ultrasound-activated nanoparticles to ...

Micro decisions can have macro consequences. A soft matter physicist reveals how interactions within simple cellular ...

Light-activated copper microrobots use single-atom catalysis and peroxide to penetrate biofilms, generate reactive oxygen species, and eliminate MRSA infections. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Bacterial ...

Once the biofilm-eradication process is complete, the robot gets removed from the body via a laparoscopically-inserted magnet. In lab tests performed on an extracted pig digestive system, the ...

and thus they potently act on slow- or non-growing bacteria, as observed in biofilms. [46] Therapeutic approaches using biofilm matrix-degrading enzymes aim to inhibit or reduce the cell-to-cell ...

These oyster proteins work by disrupting bacterial defenses and helping antibiotics penetrate protective biofilms. While the research is still in its early stages, it offers a promising new ...

Trying to predict how bacteria will spread is like predicting the flight of a leaf in a windstorm—it's a complicated and chaotic business. Factor in bacteria's encounters with objects such as ...

Woolite is recalling over 16,000 bottles of delicate laundry detergent sold exclusively at Amazon due to the potential presence of bacteria, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Methane leaks from sites like rice paddies, landfills, dairy farms and coal mines could be plugged with the help of gas-guzzling bacteria, helping to curb near-term global warming. Later this year ...

Lariocidin hits drug-resistant bacteria where others fail — by hijacking the ribosome at a new site, bypassing defences, and opening the door to a new generation of antibiotics. Lariocidin ...
