Biosensors—sensors that can detect biological samples—are powerful tools for understanding the function, composition, and structure of biochemical molecules. Biosensors are often applied for the ...

Researchers developed a biosensor that uses affinity peptides to detect symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), an early marker of kidney problems. The sensor measures SDMA levels in urine with high ...

A major step forward toward biosensor devices that can provide fast, high-contrast detection of biomarkers in almost any environment are 'binding-activated fluorescent biosensors.' Now, a research ...

According to the World Health Organization, antimicrobial resistance is among the top ten global health threats facing humanity. Antimicrobial resistance occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and ...

A common infection-causing bacteria was much less likely to evolve antibiotic resistance when treated with a mixture of antimicrobial peptides rather than a single peptide, making these mixtures a ...

Therapeutic peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as precise cellular messengers to regulate biological processes. By incorporating unnatural amino acids, researchers can design synthetic ...

Using a neonatal mouse model, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have shown that changes in the microbiota of the gut contribute to this dangerous lung injury. The changes occur ...
