An electronic skin that can mimic the full range of biological skin's sensitivity has great potential to transform prosthetics and robotics. Current…
Therapy with mesenchymal stem cells, the so-called progenitor cells of connective tissue, holds great promise for the regeneration of cartilage tissue but how…
“A way to someone’s heart is through their stomach” is a popular saying. But it is not only in humans that romance and a good dinner seem to go together well….
The consortium’s aim is to accelerate the societal and economic impact of organ-on-a-chip technology through coordinated action. Organs-on-chips combine human…
Electrolysis, splitting the water molecule with electricity, is the cleanest way to obtain hydrogen, a clean and renewable fuel. Now, researchers at ICIQ and…
Misfolded proteins made from defective blueprints are often sticky and clump together. Accumulation of such faulty proteins is known to contribute to the…
Researchers at the University of Maryland and Duke University have designed a novel protein-sugar vaccine candidate that, in an animal model, stimulated an…
Be it through mucosa or the intestinal lining, different tissues and surfaces of our body are entry gates for bacterial pathogens. The first few seconds – the…
The wire produced by the scientists from Kiel and San Sebastián is just two atomic bonds long and one atom wide. “This is the simplest molecular wire…
From the moment a baby is born, they are put through a battery of screenings to test for all sorts of characteristics, which includes the sense of hearing. One…
Reducing pollutant emission of vehicles and meeting stricter exhaust gas standards are major challenges when developing catalytic converters. A new concept…
During an embryo’s development, epithelial cells can break away from the cell cluster, modify their cell type-specific properties, and migrate into other…
Axons are the structures through which neurons transmit information to other cells. In the body, they aggregate to form fascicles. Several technologies allow…
A hydrogel is a network of polymer chains that attract water and can be used to simulate biological tissue.
Y chromosomes, which are only inherited paternally, evolved from “normal” chromosomes known as autosomes. As males only possess one Y chromosome, there is no…
The three proteins usually targeted by pharmacist Sonja M. Kessler in her research work are known to play an important role in embryos in the womb. These…
