    New molecular label could lead to simpler, faster tuberculosis tests

    Tuberculosis, the world’s deadliest infectious disease, is estimated to infect around 10 million people each year, and kills more than 1 million annually. Once established in the lungs, the bacteria’s thick cell wall helps it to fight off the host immune system.

    Much of that cell wall is made from complex sugar molecules known as glycans, but it’s not well-understood how those glycans help to defend the bacteria. One reason for that is that there hasn’t been an easy way to label them inside…

  • Biological ‘clocks’ key to muscle health and accelerated aging in shift workers

    Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on ageing, according to new research.

    A study published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) contributes to the growing evidence of the damage shift work has on health.

    The King’s College London team revealed how muscle cells have an intrinsic timekeeping mechanism that regulates protein turnover, modulating muscle growth and function. At night, the muscle…
