Controlling the effect of drugs more precisely

Unwanted side effects in the body, drug resistance or environmentally harmful residues—drugs not only cure diseases or relieve pain, but can also have negative effects on people or the environment. This could be reduced ...

Lithium hydride mediates hydrogenolysis of anilines to arenes

A research group led by Prof. Guo Jianping and Prof. Chen Ping from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. Wu An'an from Xiamen University, revealed ...

Force stabilizes a bond in bacterial adhesion

National University of Singapore biophysicists have discovered how a special bacterial adhesion complex could be counterintuitively stabilized by mechanical stress at the single-molecule level.

Lipid expansion microscopy uses 'power of click chemistry'

Lipids—fats—make great walls for cells and organelles because they are water resistant and dynamic. But those same characteristics also make them hard to image using expansion microscopy, a technique that works for magnifying ...
