Scientists have pieced together sections of DNA from 12 individual cells to sequence the genome of a bacterium known to live in healthy human mouths. With this new data about a part of the body considered "biological dark matter," the ...
A new class of molecules called acyldepsipeptides-ADEPs-may provide a new way to attack bacteria that have developed resistance to antibiotics. Researchers at Brown and MIT have discovered a way to increase the potency of ADEPs by up to ...
We are all aware of the health benefits of "dietary fibre". But what is dietary fiber and how do we metabolise it? Research at the University of York's Structural Biology Laboratory, in collaboration with groups in Canada, the USA and ...
