Piggy Backing on Body's Natural Process to Pump Lethal Doses of Copper into Microbes

Researchers at Duke University suggest that taking advantage of a natural process in the human body through which lethal doses of copper can be pumped into fungi and bacteria can lead to a new way of killing infectious microbes. Publishing in the July 31, 2014, issue of the journal emChemistry (and) Biology/em, the researchers describe a way of exploiting the unique chemical response from the body's immune system to attack pathogens using copper, long known for ...
