Changes in certain sections of the genetic material of cancer cells, so-called microsatellites, can provide an important indication of whether immunotherapy…
Why do some cancer cells evade therapy?
The early-stage research, led by scientists from Imperial College London and The Institute of Cancer Research, London, identified a genetic 'switch' in breast…
More than half of the global population is infected with cytomegalovirus (CMV), which remains in the body for life. Normally, these infections do not produce…
Police forces encounter a suspicious room during a house search – a room that could be anything: a drug or explosive laboratory or just a fake. In order to…
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS in Dresden have developed a new production process with the aim of efficient and…
Ultraviolet (UV) light damages DNA, producing small lesions. These UV lesions are first detected by a protein complex known as UV-DDB and – once the lesions…
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are, so to say, a computer manufacturer's “Lego bricks”: electronic components that can be employed in a more flexible…
A consortium of scientists from the Medical Imaging Center (University Medical Center Groningen), Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (University of…
With this programme, the EU supports the career development of scientists. It is the first such MSCA fellowship to be awarded to an employee of TROPOS.
With a wide range of healthcare, energy and military applications, stretchable electronics are revered for their ability to be compressed, twisted and…
Fluorescence microscopy is a method for studying living tissue that relies on induced luminescence. After being exposed to laser radiation at a particular…
It happens several times a week. Sometimes it is only short flashes of light that appear on the surface of the moon. Other light phenomena on the Earth's…
In 2004, researchers discovered a super thin material that is at least a 100 times stronger than steel and the best known conductor of heat and electricity.
In a study that combines experimental work and theoretical calculations made possible by supercomputers, scientists have determined the nuclear geometry of two…
The use of strong electromagnetic radiation to push materials out of their normal equilibrium is a new frontier in this field. Such manipulation leads to the…
