For 40 years, researchers relied on horseshoe crab blood to catch endotoxins in drugs. Now, synthetic alternatives and ...

Scientists at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Calicut have developed a breakthrough point-of-care diagnostic device capable of rapidly detecting sepsis, a life-threatening condition caused ...

A research team from the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Calicut has developed a portable, low-cost device using an electrochemical biosensor to detect sepsis by ...

A group of scientists from the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Calicut has developed a new highly sensitive, low-cos ...

A team of scientists from the Calicut-based National Institute of Technology under the Department of Science and Technology (DST) has developed a highly sensitive, low-cost, portable device for ...

In the outer membrane of gram‐negative bacteria, O‐antigen segments of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) form a chemomechanical barrier, whereas lipid A moieties anchor LPS molecules. Upon infection, human ...

Zosurabalpin is able to destroy Gram-negative bacteria by jamming LPS molecules inside the bacteria, weakening its membrane. It is the first of its class of antibiotics, and the first new class of ...

Dentists break down the top benefits of tongue scraping and how to do it the right way. Plus, they share if the oral hygiene practice is really worth doing.

LHNVD-303 targets conserved bacterial components, including peptidoglycan (PGN), lipoteichoic acid (LTA), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), found across gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as ...

Gram-negative bacteria need magnesium for many reasons, including to stabilize their cell membrane. LPS carries a negative charge, which can be neutralized by the binding of positively charged ...
