Targeting bacterial defense mechanisms for effective antibiotic treatment
Possible causes of mortality upon loss of membrane potential. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-51347-0 In addition to the urgent need for new antibiotics, alternative strategies are also needed to tackle the problem of antibiotic resistance. Associate Professor Michaela Wenzel of Chalmers University of Technology studies bacterial defenses against external stress and targets these for efficient antibiotic treatments. Michaela Wenzel…

Researchers develop new covalent organic framework for precise targeting of cancer treatment
Credit: ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c10812 A team of researchers at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), led by Chemistry Program Director Ali Trabolsi, has developed nanoscale covalent organic frameworks (nCOFs), crystalline organic polymers modified with peptides, to treat the most aggressive form of breast cancer called triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The peptides enable the COF to…
