A molecular moonlander
Insight into molecular motion on surfaces at the nanoscale. Now, using neutron spectroscopy experiments performed at Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) and advanced theorical models and computer simulations, a team led by…
Impact of aldehydes on DNA damage and aging
A team of researchers at Nagoya University in Japan has discovered that aldehydes are metabolic byproducts associated with premature aging. Published in Nature Cell Biology, their findings reveal insights into…
Protein that controls CAR T cell longevity
FOXO1 is required for memory in T cells and is associated with more durable clinical responses to CAR T cell therapy. CAR T cell therapy has revolutionized the way certain…
New way to generate human cartilage discovered
University of Montana researchers and their partners have found a new method to generate human cartilage of the head and neck. Mark Grimes, a biology professor in UM’s Division of…
Waterproof ‘e-glove’ could help scuba divers communicate
When scuba divers need to say “I’m okay” or “Shark!” to their dive partners, they use hand signals to communicate visually. But sometimes these movements are difficult to see. Now,…
Soft and flexible “skeletons” for muscle-powered robots
New modular, spring-like devices maximize the work of live muscle fibers so they can be harnessed to power biohybrid bots. Our muscles are nature’s perfect actuators — devices that turn…
