After spending more than a decade decoding breast milk’s important health-promoting constituents, a team of researchers in the Foods for Health Institute at the University of California, Davis, is now doing the same for cow’s milk, with potential benefits both for human health and the U.S. dairy industry.

What started out several years ago as chance favoring the prepared mind has blossomed into a licensed partnership for UTSA graduates Mark Penick '11 and Tom Hibler '10.

Federal grant extends UD's interdisciplinary work in biomedical research.

The widespread overuse and misuse of antibiotics have led to antibiotic-resistant infections—and rising fatalities. Now, the federal government has turned to Rutgers to help develop a new generation of antibiotics.

Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast have found that the spread of an exotic parasite that threatens the UK’s honey-bee population could be speeded up by global warming.

Using a new imaging technique, National Institutes of Health researchers have found that the biological machinery that builds DNA can insert molecules into the DNA strand that are damaged as a result of environmental exposures. These damaged molecules trigger cell death that produces some human diseases, according to the researchers. The work, appearing online Nov. 17 in the journal Nature, provides a possible explanation for how one type of DNA damage may lead to cancer, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular and lung disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.
