Cell-free systems, which can express an easily detectable protein with a DNA or mRNA template without constraints of living ...

We created novel artificial cells by encapsulating a riboswitch-gene fusion with wheat germ extract in liposomes. These non-living cells promoted the expression of a glowing protein encoded in the ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered a new mechanism behind blood vessel damage in type 2 diabetes. The study ...

The method works particularly well for non-aqueous samples — for example, materials on membrane ... of the cells of the blood, whilst in the adult these cells, especially the red cells, are ...

A study shows how hemodialysis helped save the life of a horse a horse with an often deadly form of toxicosis.

Scientists have found a way to use tiny bubbles and ultrasound to deliver medicine directly into cells, which could help treat brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The brain is well ...

Researchers have characterised how dying, or necrotic, cells contribute to the body’s regeneration process, with potential implications for wound and tissue repair.

The macromolecular organization of photosynthetic complexes within the thylakoids of higher plant chloroplasts has been a topic of significant debate. Using in situ cryo-electron tomography, this ...

The Mars Curiosity rover’s onboard mini-lab has helped confirm the existence of the largest organic molecules ever found on ...

A DNA nanomachine selectively targets skin cancer by detecting microRNA-7, activating phototherapy and releasing chemotherapy ...
