A short exposure to an alternating magnetic field might someday replace multiple surgeries and weeks of IV antibiotics as treatment for stubborn infections on artificial joints, new research suggests.

Light is a universal stimulus that influences all living things. Cycles of light and dark help set the biological clocks for ...

Bacteria that multiply on surfaces are a major headache in health care when they gain a foothold on, for example, implants or in catheters. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden ...

New ultrasound drug delivery system found to be highly effective against bacterial biofilms Scientists have developed a new drug delivery system using ultrasound-activated nanoparticles to break ...

When bacteria infect our bodies, they sometimes form sticky mats of sugars and proteins called biofilms to protect themselves. This viscous layer makes it difficult for antibiotics and immune cells to ...

It's never a good thing, when a bacterial biofilm forms on the surface of a medical implant. There could soon be a new way of eradicating such films, however, using tiny remote-control liquid-bodied ...

Light-activated copper microrobots use single-atom catalysis and peroxide to penetrate biofilms, generate reactive oxygen species, and eliminate MRSA infections. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Bacterial ...
