Chemists have developed a novel way to generate a variety of highly useful chemical building blocks by harnessing metal carbenes, suggests new research.

Because early Lyme disease often mimics other conditions and standard tests can miss initial infections, diagnosis is frequently delayed. A research team in New Hampshire now presents a molecular assay capable of identifying Borrelia burgdorferi with far greater precision, offering a promising path to faster treatment.

In the fight against superbugs and future pandemics, a surprising new weapon has emerged: hydrogen boride nanosheets. These transparent coatings kill viruses, bacteria, and fungi within minutes — no light needed. Now, researchers in Japan are revealing their vast potential to make everyday surfaces safer.

Researchers have developed what they claim to be the first wearable device for measuring gases emitted from and absorbed by the skin. The new technology comprises a collection of sensors that precisely measure changes in temperature, water vapor, CO2 and VOCs, which each give valuable insight into various skin conditions and overall health.

New research has revealed that greater openness about complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) use in dairy farming can strengthen farmer-vet relationships, prevent potential unintended harm to animals, reduce antibiotic use and also enhance herd health management.

A new research shows that resistant bacteria can regain susceptibility to antibiotics when the treatment is combined with a material equipped with antibacterial peptides. It also reveals that antibiotics can achieve a 64-fold increase in bactericidal effect when used together with the material, whose antibacterial properties are also greatly enhanced by this combination.

Researchers from Brazil and Germany study the mechanism of action of phytochemicals from papaya, passion fruit and medicinal plant extracts; results were presented at FAPESP Week Germany.

In a new study, researchers have revealed that the number of avoidable deaths are going down in most high-income countries around the world except the USA where the number is on the rise.

With the help of a study, researchers have revealed that resistant bacteria can regain susceptibility to antibiotics when the treatment is combined with a material equipped with antibacterial peptides. They further state that antibiotics can achieve a 64-fold increase in bactericidal effect when used together with the material, whose antibacterial properties are also greatly enhanced by this combination.

Researchers have developed nanostructured alumina surfaces that resist bacterial growth while supporting cell cultures. This development could transform regenerative medicine by enabling antibiotic-free, high-quality cell cultures, reducing contamination risks, and advancing medical treatments.
