Does treating adolescent acne with systemic antibiotics have unintended consequences on the skeleton?
US researchers unmask the consequences of treating adolescent acne with systemic antibiotics; as it can lead to altered profiles of circulating bile acids that reduce osteoblast function and bone mass accrual.

A multi-step analysis including GCI reveals novel insight into LPS translocation
Antibiotic resistance is one of the key health challenges of the future. In a new study, researchers have carried out a multi-step analysis to deliver insights into translocation of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions of the large lipopolysaccharide molecules through the outer membrane of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This article summarises their…
