Tomorrow's Life-Saving Medications May Currently be Living at the Bottom of the Sea, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Study
OHSU researchers, in partnership with scientists from several other institutions, have published two new research papers that signal how the next class of powerful medications may currently reside at the bottom of the ocean. In both cases, the researchers were focused on ocean-based mollusks -- a category of animal that includes snails, clams and squid and their bacterial companions.
