How toxins are transported at molecular level by resistant germs: Study
Updated : 4 years, 5 months ago IST
Berlin [Germany], September 25 (ANI): The findings of a recent study suggest that micro-organism resistance to antibiotics, in particular, is a major problem in everyday medicine because this has led to an exponential increase in the number of resistant microbes.

Microstructure found in beetle's exoskeleton contributes to colour, damage
Updated : 4 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], June 29 (ANI): In addition to providing armoured protection, the beetle's exoskeleton offers functions like sensory feedback and hydration control. Notably, the exoskeletons of many beetles are also brilliantly coloured and patterned, which enhances visual communication with
