            "description": "Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause acute and chronic infections. Responsible for many hospital-acquired infections, it is also a major concern for people with cystic fibrosis, whose lungs are clogged with thick mucus that promotes its growth.",

            "title": "Drug peptides defy shape rules, activating receptors without full spiral form",
            "description": "When many of us think about how drugs work in the body, we may first think about how a drug gets into the body, such as a pill versus an injection. In the Gellman Group at the UW–Madison Department of Chemistry, researchers are instead thinking about how a drug behaves after it reaches its target, which is critical for effective drug performance. The cells in our bodies must receive and respond to information from their environment for healthy function, and when information flow is disrupted, illness can result. Most of the information is contained in molecules that engage with receptor proteins on cell surfaces. Many medicines work by modifying information transfer at specific receptor proteins.",

            "description": "A new international clinical intervention study published in Clinical Nutrition reveals the molecular and transcriptomic mechanisms through which a dietary intervention may beneficially influence gene expression. The study, led by Prof. Iris Shai and Dr. Hila Zelicha Peer from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in collaboration with researchers from Leipzig University, the Leipzig Center of Metabolism (LieCeM) and Harvard University, provides new evidence that specific plant-derived nutrients may function as an \"epigenetic pencil\"—shaping cellular health through nutrition.",
