Researchers at Colorado State University and the University of St. Andrews in Scotland have developed an effective and flexible antimicrobial material that could be used to coat medical devices placed inside the body. The work combines previous research from both universities into metal-organic frameworks—three-dimensional crystalline materials made of metals and linkers that are porous and remain stable in water. Working […]

Johns Hopkins researchers looking to develop a long-acting, injectable malaria preventive using atovaquone have shown in a new study that resistance may not be the challenge scientists thought it was, particularly when using atovaquone as a malaria preventive. Malaria parasites in infected patients being treated with atovaquone tend to develop a resistance to the drug. Because of this, atovaquone by […]

C. diff is a bacterium that infects the colon and causes diarrhea and colitis, or inflammation of the colon. It causes almost half a million infections in […]

In mammals, including humans, scar tissue forms after injury to the spinal cord as part of the healing process. In mammals, however, this has a serious drawback: the scar tissue cannot be penetrated by regrowing nerves. As a result, severed nerves cannot regenerate. In the case of spinal cord injury, this leads to permanent paralysis. In previous studies, Daniel Wehner […]

While the overall incidence and death rates from cervical cancer have dropped in the U.S., the opposite has been occurring in Appalachian Kentucky—a steady increase. The death rate from cervical cancer in Appalachian Kentucky is now twice that of the national rate. A team of cancer population scientists from MUSC Hollings Cancer Center and the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer […]
