With just 48 hours to experiment before it would become unusable, a group of nearly 20 researchers focused intently on creating a brand-new molecule. Using a chemical glove box, a polycarbonate ...

Read the paper: A broad-spectrum lasso peptide antibiotic targeting the bacterial ribosome The authors’ discovery of lariocidin (LAR) is important because ample data supports this molecule as ...

Wang et al. pursued a fresh approach by instead attaching antigens to a molecule that guides them to a key organelle — the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This subcellular compartment is where ...

Laboratory experiments show the molecule also extends the lifespan of baker's yeast by up to 80 per cent. Although at an early stage, the research raises the possibility of developing drugs that ...

Iron is a vital component of haemoglobin, a molecule in red blood cells which carries oxygen around the body, providing fuel for energy metabolism. If iron supplies in the diet are low ...
