Ant Microbiota Compound Offers Problematic Fungi Killing Potential
Antimicrobial and antifungal resistance is a major public health problem worldwide. A study suggests that the solution may come from the tiny bodies of insects, or more accurately, from the microbiota that they host.

Promising Molecules for Stabilizing Abnormal Proteins That Cause AL Amyloidosis
Scientists at Scripps Research have identified a group of small molecules that prevent structural changes to proteins that are at the root of AL amyloidosis, a progressive and often fatal disease.

Pearly White Smiles May Come With a Cost
Americans spend more than a billion dollars on teeth whitening products each year. Although these products can make smiles brighter, new research shows that they might also be causing tooth damage.

Blood Test for Endometriosis Detects up to 9 in 10 Cases
A pioneering blood test that can detect up to 90% of cases of endometriosis looks for tiny DNA fragments in the blood, and could spare women needing to undergo keyhole surgery to diagnose the condition.

"Hit-and-run" Interaction May Trigger Cell Death
A ‘hit-and-run’ interaction between two proteins could be an important trigger for cell death.

Mimicking DNA With MOFs
Scientists have begun making "metal-organic frameworks" made of building blocks that typically make up biomolecules, e.g. amino acids for proteins or nucleic acids for DNA. Apart from the traditional MOF use in chemical catalysis, these biologically derived MOFs can be also used as models for complex biomolecules that are difficult to isolate and study with other means.

Influenza Vaccine Research Progress and Opportunities Go Under the Magnifying Glass
Experts in immunology, virology, epidemiology, and vaccine development detail efforts to improve seasonal influenza vaccines and ultimately develop a universal influenza vaccine.

Early Colon Cancer Correlated With Four Biomarkers
Four protein markers associated with the pre-cancerous forms of colon cancer may serve as useful biomarkers.

Blocking Protein’s Activity Restores Cognition in Old Mice
Brain cells called microglia serve as the brain’s garbage crew, scarfing up bits of cellular debris. But their underperformance in aging brains contributes to neurodegeneration. Could a strategy to restore this homeostasis be on the horizon?

Unjamming the Genome After DNA Damage
A protein complex that is involved in nearly every step in the regulatory control of gene expression in cells has now been shown also to play a key role in clearing potential traffic jams in the production of RNA.
