NEWS RELEASE
Molecular machines could treat fungal infections
That stubborn athlete's foot infection an estimated 70% of people get at some point in their life could become much easier to get rid of thanks to nanoscale drills activated by visible light. Proven effective against antibiotic-resistant infectious bacteria and cancer cells, the molecular machines developed by Rice chemist James Tour and collaborators are just as good at combating infectious fungi, according to a new study published in Advanced Science.
