New technique allows for identification of potential drugs to fight resistant bacteria Posted: 20 Jun 2021 07:42 AM PDT Researchers have optimized a new technique that will allow scientists to evaluate how potential inhibitors work on antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This technique, called native state mass spectrometry, provides a quick way for scientists to identify the best candidates for effective clinical drugs, particularly in cases where bacteria can no longer be treated with antibiotics alone. |
Common antibiotic found useful in accelerating recovery in tuberculosis patients Posted: 19 Jun 2021 01:08 PM PDT Researchers have discovered that the use of a common antibiotic, doxycycline, in combination with TB drug treatment, reduces the size of lung cavities and accelerates markers of lung recovery. This was done in a trial with 30 pulmonary tuberculosis patients. |
Stronger together: How protein filaments interact Posted: 19 Jun 2021 06:20 AM PDT Just as the skeleton and muscles move the human body and hold its shape, the cells of the body are stabilized and moved by a cellular skeleton. This cellular skeleton is a dynamic structure, constantly changing and renewing. It consists of different types of protein filaments, which include intermediate filaments and microtubules. Researchers have now observed and measured a direct interaction between microtubules and intermediate filaments outside the cell. |
