Map shows where Giant Hogweed is growing across the North East

Picture: NEWQUEST A MAP showing the hotspots of a highly toxic plant which can cause severe burning and temporary blindness has been released. Dozens of areas known for having issues with Giant Hogweed have been identified across the North East and North Yorkshire. The dangerous plant, which can reach heights of more than 12ft if not removed, is now in season where it is expected to thrive and spread. Officially known as Heracleum mantegazzianum, the toxic plant is often found in woodland, river banks, nature reserves, parks - and even domestic gardens and allotments. According to a map, parts of County Durham, Darlington and Teesside have reported suffering from the problem plant.

World s First Nanotechnology can Improve the Effectiveness of Cystic Fibrosis Antibiotic

World-first nanotechnology developed by the University of South Australia could change the lives of thousands of people living with cystic fibrosis (CF) as groundbreaking research shows it can improve the effectiveness of the CF antibiotic Tobramycin, increasing its efficacy by up to 100,000-fold.

Novel nanotech improves cystic fibrosis antibiotic by 100,000-fold

The new technology uses a biomimetic nanostructured material to augment Tobramycin - the antibiotic prescribed to treat chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infections in severe cases of CF - eradicating the infection in as little as two doses.
