Scientists make astonishing discovery about plants at the molecular level — here's how it could help solve major problems in the medical fieldBiofilms often grow on devices like catheters, stents, and implants, making infections harder to treat because the microbes found in them are resistant to antibiotics. They can also clog pipes ...
