Scientists have identified the structure of a key component of the bacteria behind such diseases as whooping cough, peptic stomach ulcers and Legionnaires' disease. The research, funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), sheds light on how antibiotic resistance genes spread from one bacterium to another. The research may help scientists develop novel treatments for these diseases and novel ways to curtail the spread of antibiotic resistance. http://www.physorg.com/news150646319.html Medicine & Health Thu, 08 Jan 2009 14:11:59 EST news150646319 (PhysOrg.com) -- University of Manchester scientists have identified an exciting connection between a cell`s extracellular environment and the activity of a signalling pathway molecule that controls the development of organs and tissues, as well as cancer and kidney disease. http://www.physorg.com/news139159644.html Medicine & Health Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:27:24 EST news139159644
