Antimicrobial nanonets display multifunctionality by mitigating inflammatory responses during sepsis
National University of Singapore (NUS) pharmaceutical scientists have developed multi-functional synthetic peptide nanonets for relieving inflammation caused by bacterial infection. This is achieved by concurrent trapping of bacterial endotoxins and.....»»
Designing synthetic receptors for precise cell control
Biosensors are artificial molecular complexes designed to detect the presence of target chemicals or even biomolecules. Consequently, biosensors have become important in diagnostics and synthetic cell biology. However, typical methods for engineering.....»»
Biophysicists design new cell-like transport system, important milestone for synthetic biology
Creating artificial cells with life-like characteristics out of a minimal set of components is a major goal of synthetic biology. Autonomous motion is a key capability here, and one that is difficult to reproduce in the test tube. A team led by physi.....»»
Fossil of mosasaur with bizarre "screwdriver teeth" found in Morocco
Scientists have discovered a new species of mosasaur, a sea-dwelling lizard from the age of the dinosaurs, with strange, ridged teeth unlike those of any known reptile. Along with other recent finds from Africa, it suggests that mosasaurs and other m.....»»
Diagnosing inflammatory diseases with synthetic peptides
Common inflammatory disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease can be diagnosed or monitored by measuring the protein calprotectin in stool samples, while serum levels of calprotectin could be used to monitor the inflammation status in.....»»
Superior National Forest and northern Minnesota tribes make "historic" agreement
The Superior National Forest and three northeastern Minnesota Chippewa tribes have made a first-of-its-kind agreement, one that gives the tribes a stronger voice in managing national forest and federal trust land that was ceded to the federal governm.....»»
Researchers develop solution-processible single-crystal porous organic polymer
Synthetic organic polymers are typically insoluble polycrystalline or amorphous products rather than single crystals. The direct synthesis of single-crystal porous polymers remains a challenge in polymer science and crystal engineering......»»
Healthy teeth thanks to the "washing machine effect": Research explains tooth abrasion in cows
Ruminants like cows have developed an unusual way of digesting their food: they ingest plants, give them a rough chewing and then swallow the half-chewed mash before regurgitating it repeatedly and continuing to chew. This has clear advantages, as a.....»»
