Lariocidin - A New Class of Antibiotics is Discovered

Bacteria can easily evolve, and can quickly gain resistance to drugs. Drug-resistant bacterial infections already cause the deaths of millions of people every year, and that number is expected to rise as bacteria continue to evade the effects of more drugs. New antibiotics that are safe and effective are very ...

The Hidden Chemistry of Planet Formation

How do water and hydrogen interact in planetary evolution? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated the atmospheric interiors of planets and how these aid in their formation and evolution. This study has the potential to help ...

Glaciers are in Retreat Worldwide

A recent study reported in Nature Communications highlighted the loss of glaciers in the Arctic, which has been shown to be the fastest-warming place on Earth in recent decades. The increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and human-caused climate change are significantly raising temperatures around the world. This now seems to be triggering the ...

Fighting Plaque with CBD: Study Shows Enhanced Oral Health Benefits

Can cannabidiol (CBD) serve as a mouthwash to combat gingivitis? This is what a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine hopes to address as a team of researchers from the Medical University of Silesia in Poland investigated how mouthwash ...

The Future of Mars Spacesuits: Insights from Perseverance

What can a NASA Mars rover teach us about the future development of astronaut spacesuits to Mars? This is what NASA’s Perseverance rover, which is currently exploring Jezero Crater on Mars, hopes to address with its five samples of spacesuit samples, known as swatches, that scientists are examining for ...

Scientists Discover Safer Way to Extract Lithium-6

Is there a cleaner and more environmentally friendly way for scientists to create lithium-6, which is a primary component in creating nuclear fusion fuel? This is what a recent study published in Chem hopes to address as an international team of researchers investigated safer methods for separating lithium-6 from ...

UPCOMING WEBINARS

Simultaneous polyclonal antibody sequencing and epitope mapping by cryo-electron microscopy and mass spectrometry

Joost Snijder, PhD - Assistant Professor, Utrecht University

Antibodies are a major component of adaptive immunity against invading pathogens. In this presentation, we will describe an analytical approach to characterize the antigen-specific antibody repertoire directly from the secreted proteins in convalescent serum. This approach enables simultaneous antibody sequencing and epitope mapping using a combination of single particle cryo-electron microscopy ...
