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,...

Researchers have discovered that friendly bacteria that lives in the human gut can trigger a natural immune response to fight against malaria. Sugary proteins that live on the surface of some healthy gut bacteria have been found to trigger an immune response against the malaria parasite. The research, which was published...

A biomarker is a measurable substance, typically a chemical or biomolecule (protein, lipid, nucleic acid), found in biological samples that is indicative of a normal or abnormal condition of a living organism. But how can biomarkers be used in deciphering human health impacts of environmental contaminants?

In a clash of ecosystems, native plants and non-native crops find themselves at odds, facing off against a common enemy: pathogens.
