Antibacterial clays could be the answer to superbugs.

The size and age of plants has more of an impact on their productivity than temperature and precipitation, University of Arizona researchers have discovered.

Henrik Dohlman, PhD, discovered why seemingly identical cells might react differently to the chemical signals inside our bodies and the drugs we use to battle diseases.

Janelia researchers speed process with new computational method.

The previously unrecognized layer of biology could offer new drug targets.

Salk scientists identify gene that fights metastasis of a common lung cancer.

Beckman Coulter, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR), announced today (July 16) that it has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase the clinical microbiology business of Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics.

A recent change to bedbug fumigation will make it more cost-effective to get rid of the pests, thanks to research from Kansas State University.

New OSU technology may help save some of the 200,000 lives a year lost due to the use of conterfeit anti-malarial drugs.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a report on July 11 that reviews the early June incident that involved the unintentional exposure of personnel to potentially viable anthrax at the CDC’s Roybal Campus. The report identifies factors found to have contributed to the incident; and highlights actions taken by the agency to address these factors and prevent future incidents. Based on a review of all aspects of the June incident, CDC concluded that while it is not impossible that staff members were exposed to viable B. anthracis, it is extremely unlikely that this occurred. None of the staff who was potentially exposed has become ill with anthrax.

Researchers advocate for more scientific research on consciousness.

Research associated with the development of new agricultural pesticide formulations centers around the design of products that provide highly effective and specific action towards the target organism with reduced application rates. It is estimated that 30% of the pesticides on the market today have optical isomers. However, the desired activities often result from one single enantiomer in the optical isomer mixtures.
