Developing new antibiotics to tackle bacterial infections such as E.coli and MRSA is an important task. Open Access Government highlights how vital this is and how chemistry plays a role in the development Chemistry plays an important role in everyday life and the world round us, including our food and drink,...

Energy defects, neuroinflammatory processes, and abnormal cellular morphology in neurodegenerative diseases (ND) would constitute extremely informative brain imaging biomarkers of disease progression and readouts in clinical trials. Emerging research aims at developing novel brain imaging methods to study these different aspects not only in animal models but also in...

The need for the world’s food products from animal origin, like meat, milk or eggs, will continue to grow in the coming decades. The main reasons are population growth and an increase in the numbers of people who can afford valuable food, like the fast growing middle-classes in China...

The power of flexible teamwork is the key to successful research in chemical biology and drug discovery in the work of Professor Colin Suckling at the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. Over the past 10 years, research has challenged major problems of...

Austin Brady, Head of Conservation at the Woodland Trust discusses the impacts of disease and pests on our woodlands, and how we can mitigate the risks. It’s now just over 1 year on from the day that the devastating disease ash dieback was confirmed within the ‘wider environment’ in the...
