To confirm the central role of this process, the scientists used a genetically modified strain of E. faecalis lacking the EET ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising reason why some chronic wounds refuse to heal, even when treated with antibiotics. A ...

An international team of scientists, led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has discovered a new ...
