Unusual antibiotics show promise against deadly 'superbugs'

... by loose collagen strands. This linkup opens the door to new medical treatments, Yu says, because it is easy to attach bioactive agents to the peptides. When the peptides bind with collagen, these attached agents can dramatically change the way collagen behaves in the body. For example, collagen normall...

Researchers use 3-D imaging system to unveil swimming behavior of microscopic plankton

...niversity of California, San Diego, has opened the door for a team of researchers to track several hundred thousand individual zooplankton at two coastal sites in the Red Sea.
