Staphylococcus aureus is one of the primary pathogens responsible for prosthetic joint infection (PJI). This is a huge problem as certain strains of S. aureus are resistant to conventional antibacterial treatments. With this in mind, a group of researchers from China investigated whether berberine can be used as a treatment for PJI-related S. aureus infection. Joint replacement […]
Researchers from the Rutgers University-New Brunswick have created a very powerful technique to identify tiny tumors and track their growth using light-radiating nanoparticles. This can lead to earlier cancer detection and more targeted treatment, which can ultimately enhance cure rates and survival times of patients. The study, which was published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, demonstrates that the new strategy is better than magnetic resonance imaging […]
