A team of researchers from McMaster University has identified a new molecule – lariocidin – that can challenge some of the most drug-resistant bacteria on Earth. The discovery responds to a critical ...

Wright and his team found that the new molecule, a lasso peptide, holds great promise as an early drug lead because it attacks bacteria in a way that's different from other antibiotics.

Chinese scientists have developed a molecule which helps with the "last mile" delivery of antigens in cells and can act as an adjuvant to enhance the effect of vaccines for preventing infectious ...
