Lysozyme is abundant in secretions such as saliva, human milk, tears and mucus, and is also known as N-acetylmuramide glycanhydrolase or muramidase. It is an antimicrobial enzyme that is generated by ...

Each year, bacterial infections are responsible for roughly 7.7 million deaths worldwide, with this problem further exacerbated by rising antibiotic resistance. Not only are wound infections ...

A bacteria-digesting enzyme first discovered in human tears about a century ago may also have a not-so-helpful function: spurring chronic pain caused by nerve injury (Sci. Transl. Med. 2019, DOI: ...

Milk from goats that were genetically modified to produce higher levels of lysozyme, a human antimicrobial protein, has proved effective in treating diarrhea in young pigs and may one day be used to ...
