Chemistry World March 21, 2013 Phillip Broadwith	New antimalarial drug class resists resistance Early indications also show that it may take longer for the parasite to develop resistance to the new molecules than it has for existing drugs targeting the same pathway.
Chemistry World March 21, 2013 Phillip Broadwith	AstraZeneca partners with Moderna for $240 million Moderna has developed a way to use messenger RNA (mRNA), the molecule cells use to turn DNA into proteins, to stimulate the production of specific proteins in cells where disease has diminished or eliminated their ability to do so.
Chemistry World March 13, 2013 Ned Stafford	Antibiotic resistance is a 'ticking time bomb' Global research efforts to develop new antibiotics need to be accelerated urgently, the UK government's chief medical officer has warned. She adds that that new drugs are desperately needed to fight the 'catastrophic threat' of growing antimicrobial resistance.
Chemistry World March 13, 2013	Deadly mushroom chemistry Can you tell the difference between a tasty paddy straw mushroom and a toxic death cap? Emma Shiells talks to the experts about the potentially deadly chemistry hidden in those gills
Chemistry World March 8, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Battleground develops over antibiotic killing mechanism Two recent papers will require many in the field to re-examine and re-open the question of whether or not several different classes of bactericidal antibiotics do or do not work through a common mechanism.
Chemistry World March 8, 2013 David Bradley	The next big thing in mass spectrometry Researchers have used quadrupole time-of-flight native MS to investigate intact capsids from a bacteriophage. While there is theoretically no upper limit on the mass of a particle that might be analyzed, the work is far from trivial in breaking the record.
Chemistry World March 6, 2013 Ian Farrell	How healthy is your breath? Breath analysis for healthcare is a hot topic, with the ultimate goal being a device that can identify an illness from a single breath at your doctor's office. Although this is still some way off, breath chemistry is used currently to monitor some conditions.
Chemistry World March 6, 2013 Derek Lowe	New antibiotics: what's the hold up? Money's a factor that could be adjusted by regulatory agencies, governments, and foundations. But no amount of cash will keep resistant bacteria from being the hard targets they are.
Chemistry World March 4, 2013 David Bradley	Microbial mobilization may offer arsenic solution Contamination of groundwater by naturally occurring arsenic salts has been an insidious environmental problem affecting millions of people across the Indian sub-continent for decades.
Chemistry World March 3, 2013 James Urquhart	Polymer production line runs on DNA US researchers have developed a purely chemical and enzyme-free system that can build synthetic polymers using DNA as a template.
