To counter the effects of antibiotics, bacteria constantly evolve resistance mechanisms. In order to develop new antibiotics that could overcome the resistance, it is essential to understand its workings. Using so-called cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) researchers at Lund and Hamburg universities have uncovered the molecular details of an important antibiotic resistance mechanism. This is

Antikroppar är kroppens superhjältar som känner igen och röjer undan sjukdomsframkallande ämnen. Genom att kombinera delar från antikroppar har forskare vid Lunds universitet designat en hybridantikropp som bättre stimulerar immunförsvaret mot både SARS-CoV-2-virus och streptokockbakterier. – Hybridantikroppen är betydligt bättre än kroppens egna antikroppar på att bekämpa såväl streptokocker som
