Study gives insight into mechanism that fuels antibiotic resistance
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
A concern to global health is antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections were blamed for an estimated 1.3 million deaths globally in 2019 alone. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have been examining the mechanism that fuels antibiotic resistance at the molecular

Researchers reveal therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cell
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Gene mutations are the cause of cancer. Tumor suppressors and oncogenes are the two main groups of these altered genes in cancer. Mutations in oncogenes can drive cell proliferation, pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor, whereas mutations in tumour suppressor genes can cause tumour
