Their newest technique has already uncovered hundreds of hidden bacterial genomes and two promising antibiotics. Now, the same approach could unlock an entire microbial universe—reshaping drug discovery and our understanding of how bacteria shape our environment.
Newly identified compounds appear effective against drug-resistant bacteria. The technique used to reveal them could uncover many more antibiotics, as well as help illuminate a previously hidden microbial world.
New research demonstrates that a previously published structure and mechanism for RNA capping at work in coronaviruses is incorrect, with potentially sweeping implications for the quest to develop drugs targeting these pathogens.
Mojsov is recognized for her discovery of the peptide hormone GLP-1, research that led to a new class of safe and highly effective drugs for type 2 diabetes as well as the treatment of obesity.
A collaboration between Rockefeller, MSK, and Weill Cornell answers a longstanding
mystery about the basic biology of the hepatitis B virus, while also proposing a novel therapy.
Male fruit flies don’t just sing to their mates; they also use sound-cancelling wing-flicks to jockey with rivals. This new understanding of how male flies compete for female partners could shed light on how the brain balances cooperation and competition.
