Chemists develop new reagent for deelectronation
Chemists from Freiburg have succeeded in converting polynuclear transition metal carbonyls into their homoleptic complex cations using typical inorganic oxidants. In their work, the research team of Malte Sellin, Christian…
Innovative approach to cell binding
… could help our understanding of diseases. The ligand-receptor binding is important for biological processes such as immunity and infectious disease. For example, the leukocyte can enter injured tissue by…
Into the brain of comb jellies
Scientists explore the evolution of neurons. A new study into the neurons found in the earliest-diverging animal lineages reveals key clues about the form of the most ancestral nervous system,…
Robot helps reveal how ants pass on knowledge
Scientists have developed a small robot to understand how ants teach one another. The team built the robot to mimic the behaviour of rock ants that use one-to-one tuition, in…
Future medical applications in drug design
Research team studies role morphogens play in tissue patterning in heart development. Morphogens are molecules that travel from biological cell to cell to pattern tissues in the embryo. These molecules…
Scientists identify novel molecular biomarkers in cells
Studying a deadly type of breast cancer called triple negative, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have identified key molecular differences between cancer cells that cling to an initial tumor…
