It’s relatively easy to collect massive amounts of data on microbes. But the files are so large that it takes days to simply transmit them to other researchers and months to analyze once they are received....
Biofilms may no longer have any solid ground upon which to stand. A team of Harvard scientists has developed a slick way to prevent the troublesome bacterial communities from ever forming on a surface.
Method used at Stony Brook’s Proteomics Center, detailed in PLoS One, provides evidence of active infection and opens door to new ways of uncovering history’s medical mysteries.
New research has shown that a protein does something that scientists once thought impossible: It unfolds itself and refolds into a completely new shape.
