Researchers report the discovery of a new antibiotic class from soil bacteria. This class, called malacidins, kills several multidrug-resistant, disease-causing bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

New insights from neutron analysis of glaucoma drugs and their enzyme target may help scientists design drugs that more effectively target aggressive cancers.

Scientists have developed a way to identify biomarkers for a wide range of diseases by assessing the antibodies we are making to the complex sugars coating our cells.

Genetic profiling of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors have uncovered potential therapeutic targets.

Transport of carbonate ions towards the deep North Atlantic Ocean has fallen by more than 40% since the Industrial Revolution, posing a potential threat to cold-water corals, reports a new study.

Herbicide-resistant weeds threaten crop productivity and food security. To avoid weeds evolving resistance, farmers often mix different herbicides, or apply them in cycle. But these strategies may be futile, suggests a study.

Researchers have successfully programmed nanorobots to shrink tumors by cutting off their blood supply.

All individuals with severe hemophilia improved to mild hemophilia activity levels after only six daily doses with a continuous linear increase in Factor IX clotting activity. These results suggest that long-term dosing of SQ CB 2679d has the potential to maintain stable clotting activity in the high-mild hemophilia to normal range.

In two separate papers published in Neuron and Nature, researchers show that the posterior parietal cortex contributes to the merging of signals from different sensory modalities, as well the formation of memories about the history of recent stimuli.

The research was published in the journal Addiction.
