In the Nanovision project, researchers at Empa and the Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen are developing novel nanocomplexes that kill resistant germs and protect the eye tissue at the same time. In ...

Several factors can increase the risk of urinary tract infections UTIs but during winter there’s one specific reason that can ...

The Structural and Functional Diversity of Peptides Studies suggest that peptides may exhibit remarkable diversity in structure and function, which arises from variations in amino acid composition, ...

The components of this defense mechanism can be divided into normal vaginal flora, antimicrobial peptides, cytokines and immune cells. All these components interact in order to maintain homeostasis.

ProDentim is a health supplement formulated to enhance dental health by supporting teeth and gum health. The supplement ...

Antimicrobial peptides belong to a wide range of protein families produced as a component of barrier defense upon infection in a wide variety of higher organisms. Antimicrobial peptides from natural ...
