Each year, bacterial infections are responsible for roughly 7.7 million deaths worldwide, with this problem further exacerbated by rising antibiotic resistance. Not only are wound infections ...

Milk from goats that were genetically modified to produce higher levels of lysozyme, a human antimicrobial protein, has proved effective in treating diarrhea in young pigs and may one day be used to ...

For any DLS system, its performance is based on the sample, for instance, the upper size limit may be > 5 μm for an emulsion, but < 1 μm for a high density particle since the analysis loses accuracy ...

A novel water-based gel, also known as a hydrogel, not only fights bacteria but also calms inflammation, thereby actively supporting wound healing. The material functions like a net, catching bacteria ...

Direct evidence of the piezoelectric effect of lysozyme in monoclinic and tetragonal aggregate films of lysozyme has now been captured by researchers. The sufficiently high piezoelectric coefficient ...

The EU food safety agency has found that wines treated with egg derivative lysozyme may trigger adverse allergic reactions in some individuals. The European Commission asked the European Food Safety ...

An instrument which combines Raman spectroscopy with dynamic light scattering (DLS) can be used to study lysozyme’s unfolding and refolding processes under thermal stress conditions. Through the ...

Predatory bacteria, capable of invading and consuming harmful bugs such as E .coli and Salmonella, use a unique tool to help them escape the cell they have invaded without harming themselves, ...

A DLS system’s performance depends on the sample. For example, while the upper size limit may be > 5 μm for an emulsion, it could be in the range of < 1 μm for a high density particle, owing to the ...
