Bioengineers have cleared a major hurdle on the path to 3D printing replacement organs with a breakthrough technique for bioprinting tissues.
A team led by the Freiburg biologists Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schamel and Prof. Dr. Wilfried Weber conducted an experiment in which they controlled the duration of…
How can chemical reactions be triggered by light, following the example of photosynthesis in nature?
Medical diagnoses could be even more reliable and efficient with the use of biosensors, but researchers face great challenges. The sensors should be…
Mobile elements or retrotransposons occupy more than half of the human genome. Once they were described as genomic parasites, but it is now realised that they…
If plants are injured, cells adjacent to the wound fill the gaps with their daughter cells. However, which cells divide to do the healing and how they manage…
Thanks to their ability to transform into any type of cell in the body, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells)** could make a key contribution to…
Published in the journal PNAS, the study paves the way for new treatments for cancer. The results of the work indicate that, in contrast to what was previously…
Over the past decades, the research of spider venom mainly focused on the neurotoxins it contains. This involved understanding the paralyzing and toxic effect…
Brain tumours are the leading cause of non-accidental death in children in Canada, but little is known about when these tumours form or how they develop….
Traditional OER catalysts, e.g. RuO2 and IrO2, are limited by high cost and declining stability. Heteroatom-doped carbon materials, especially dual doping,…
Enzymes are the main catalysts in our body and are widely used in bioassays. In particular, peroxidase, which oxidizes transparent colorimetric substrates to…
“There is exceptional diversity in coloration of bumble bees,” said Heather Hines, assistant professor of biology and of entomology at Penn State and principal…
Transport proteins are located in the membrane of the cell and are responsible for absorbing nutrients into the cell and expelling toxic substances out of it….
Graphene and graphene oxide (a more stable version of the material in colloidal solutions) are carbon nanostructures that are extremely promising for…
The new HKBU invention can be applied to the drug discovery process, as well as the production and quality control stages of pharmaceutical manufacturing. It…
