“#New approach drives bacteria to produce potential antibiotic, antiparasitic compounds” Researchers used a variety of techniques, including genome mining, to identify bacteria that produce defensive compounds in response to hormone exposure. Their approach will help in the discovery of new antibiotics and other medically useful molecules. Credit: Julie McMahon Researchers have developed a method to…
“#We need to adapt fast to erosion and rising sea levels to manage coastal risks” Credit: CC0 Public Domain The impact of rising sea levels and coastal erosion will see shorelines retreat steadily and provide major challenges for planning authorities, according to a research that involved the University of Western Australia, and was contracted to…
“#New ‘hybrid engine’ for biodegradable nanomotors that transport drugs to diseased tissue” Credit: Eindhoven University of Technology Nanomotors are molecular or nanoscale devices that can move through a biological medium by converting chemical energy into motion, and can be used for the delivery of pharmaceutical drugs to specific parts of the body. Typically, nanomotors use…
“#Dramatic past declines of flounder verified and explained” European (left) and Baltic flounder are almost indistinguishable by appearance but they have different spawning behaviours and adaptations.
