Clever biomolecular labelling enables identification of immune cells
Biomolecules regulate the biological functions inside every living cell. If scientists can understand the molecular mechanisms, then it is possible to detect severe dysfunction. At a molecular level, this can be achieved with fluorescent markers that.....»»
Researchers develop new method for delivering RNA and drugs into cells
Researchers at the University of Toronto and its hospital partners have developed a method for co-delivering therapeutic RNA and potent drugs directly into cells, potentially leading to a more effective treatment of diseases......»»
Trimetallic-based nanocarriers method shows promise for visualized idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis therapy
A research group from Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed a novel method for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) therapy by transplanting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), w.....»»
Modified nano-sized cell particles found to boost cancer immunotherapy, reduce side effects
Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses the body's own immune system to help fight cancer. This is by stimulating the immune response to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. The treatment involves using substances that bo.....»»
Is the Apple iPhone 16 waterproof?
The iPhone 16 lineup is a tough series of phones, but they aren't completely immune to damage from dust and moisture......»»
Apple re-enables new ‘Tap to Provision’ feature in Apple Wallet ahead of iOS 18 release
After initially disabling the feature last week, Apple has brought back its new “Tap to Provision” feature in the Apple Wallet app in iOS 18, just two days before the wide release of the software. more….....»»
Ethics of biobanking for conservation: Researchers adjust ethical assessment tool for the use of genome research banks
In the face of the global biodiversity crisis, more and more biobanks are being set up to safeguard and potentially restore genetic diversity. Preserved tissue or cells allow scientists and conservationists to overcome spatial and even temporal fragm.....»»
How bacteria actively use passive physics to make biofilms
When we think about bacteria, we may imagine single cells swimming in solution. However, similarly to humans, bacterial cells often socialize, using surfaces to coalesce into complex heterogeneous communities called biofilms. Within a group, bacteria.....»»
Researchers aim to control gene expression by studying the memories of cells
Communication between cells is now believed to activate a memory mechanism that sustains gene expression, a finding based on the work of Dr. Gregory Reeves......»»

Mitiga unveiled its Cloud Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service, designed to provide 24/7 protection against the increasingly complex threats targeting cloud and SaaS environments. This comprehensive solution enables organizations to detect, p.....»»
Beyond needles: Introducing a new, nature-based approach for delivering cargo into egg cells
A new approach for delivering miniature research tools into the interior of egg cells and embryos has been developed at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), resolving a major bottleneck to using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 in many research o.....»»
Unlocking plant defense: Bacterial hijacking exposed
Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum poses a severe threat to agriculture worldwide, affecting numerous crops. The pathogen's arsenal of type III effectors (T3Es) enables it to manipulate host defense mechanisms, aiding infection. One majo.....»»
Adaptiva enables users to instantly control patch rollouts
Adaptiva launched Flex Controls in OneSite Patch, which give users advanced management capabilities over their patch deployment processes, including the ability to immediately pause or cancel patch rollouts as well as rollback patches to previous ver.....»»
Experimental nanomedicine delivers chemo drugs directly to tumors in mice
Researchers at the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed a nanomedicine that increases the penetration and accumulation of chemotherapy drugs in tumor tissues and effectively kills cancer cells in mice......»»
Pausing biological clock could give boost to lab-produced blood stem cells
A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential value of keeping those same signals switched off after their i.....»»
Silver nanoparticles and a new sensing method can fight back against antibiotic-resistant biofilms
From safeguarding our food supply to preventing hospital infections, the battle against antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a growing challenge. Some bacteria can form biofilms, thick aggregates of millions of individual cells surrounded by protective m.....»»
