Zinc sits at the heart of many bacterial enzymes, so one of our immune system's simplest defenses is to keep zinc out of reach. Calprotectin, a neutrophil protein abundant at infection sites, is ...
Tubeworms (Hydroides elegans) are tiny marine creatures with hard shells that cause a lot of trouble and economic loss for boat and ship owners. They stick to the bottoms of boats and form ...
