Agents that interfere with protein production in bacteria are already useful antibiotics, but this is the first small molecule found to interfere specifically with the earliest steps of protein production in human cells.

The nicotine molecule is too small to affect an immune response. By soaking it up, our carrier protein creates a molecule that is too big to break the blood-brain barrier.

If we can interfere with the mechanism, it could lead to better antibiotics and better treatments.

Most antibiotics used by humans are produced by fungi and certain soil bacteria.

Many of the things that are proposed are things that we already do and that customers find useful. In any disaster, since no two are exactly alike, it is essential that flexibility be available to respond to circumstances as they exist on the ground.

The West has turned out a host of other movies similar to 'Schindler's List'. This has, to some extent, led to Germany apologizing for its wartime crimes.
