New insights into blood clot mechanisms in cancer patients discovered
A new signalling pathway has been identified that may help further the understanding of blood clot formation in cancer patients and presents a new drug target for reducing cancer-associated complications.
news
Novel peptide could lead to antibiotic for drug-resistant bacteria
A novel peptide has been discovered that attacks gram negative bacteria at a previously unknown site of action which presents a promising lead substance for the development of a new antibiotic.
