New surfactant could improve lung treatments for premature babies
American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB)

Scientists have developed a new lung surfactant that is produced synthetically rather than relying on the use of animal tissues. With further development, the formulation could provide a cheaper and more readily available alternative to Infasurf, a medication used to prevent and treat respiratory distress in premature babies.

Researchers uncover key biomolecule involved in whooping cough infection
American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB)

Researchers have identified a new complex-carbohydrate biomolecule, or glycan, that plays a key role in the nasal colonization of the Bordetella bacteria responsible for whooping cough. The discovery could make it possible to create a new drug or vaccine that interferes with the glycan to greatly reduce or even stop ongoing Bordetella transmission.
