Researchers have revealed how polymyxins, crucial last-resort antibiotics, break down bacterial armor by forcing cells to ...

Bacterial fragments called peptidoglycans may influence daily sleep patterns and also affect the brain health cycle strongly.

A new scientific study reveals how life-saving drugs called polymyxins puncture the defenses of harmful bugs. The post Scientists show how antibiotics pierce through bacteria’s armor appeared first on ...

Physicians have relied on a class of antibiotics called polymyxins to fight potentially life-threatening Gram-negative ...

The University College London and Imperial College London focused on antibiotics called Polymyxin B, which kill harmful Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli. These bacteria are highly difficult to ...

A team led by UCL (University College London) and Imperial College London researchers has shown for the first time how ...

New studies show that a bacterial molecule, peptidoglycan, is present in the brain and fluctuates with sleep patterns. This challenges the idea that sleep is solely brain-driven, instead suggesting it ...

Skoltech researchers and their colleagues from the Pasteur Institute and the University of Lorraine, France, have uncovered ...

Brian P. Lazzaro highlights the promise of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as powerful agents in the ongoing battle against ...

Calcium, a mineral involved in wound healing, can strengthen the attachment between microbe and skin and make infections hard to shake.

Short peptides can self-assemble into net-like structures that kill bacteria. Now, researchers have discovered how to control ...
