Techniques: Bright future for GFP

A Bright Future for Antibiotics?

Multidrug resistance is a global threat as the clinically available potent antibiotic drugs are becoming exceedingly scarce. For example, increasing drug resistance among gram-positive bacteria is responsible for approximately one-third of nosocomial infections. As ribosomes are a major target for these drugs, they may serve as suitable objects for novel development of next-generation antibioti...

A bright future for the bright yellow-2 cell culture.

The capacity of plant cells to revive out of a latent stage of differentiation and to start dividing in the presence of appropriate hormone concentrations has facilitated the in vitro culturing of a panoply of plant species from different tissue sources. Cell biology studies have been performed on many different cultures, but their divergent nature has complicated the integration of research in...

A Bright, Shiny Future

A bright future for the Montreal Protocol.

Environmental policy of the 1980s could provide direction and solutions for 21st century debates.

A bright future for glass - ceramics

G lass-ceramics were discovered – somewhat accidently – in 1953. Since then, many exciting papers have been published and patents granted related to glass-ceramics by research institutes, universities and companies worldwide. Glass-ceramics (also known as vitrocerams, pyrocerams, vitrocerâmicos, vitroceramiques and sittals) are produced by controlled crystallization of certain glasses – general...
