A Cornell University-led collaboration has uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide spectrum of antibiotics along ...
Call it the science of small, but a trio of University of Florida chemical engineers have developed a lab-on-a-chip process that could make a big difference for DNA research and, ultimately, patients.
An international team of scientists have discovered that soap could be important to helping our understanding of complex systems in the human body, such as lungs, and improving therapies for conditions such as respiratory ...
Uncovering the relationship between structure (connectivity) and function (neuronal activity) is a fundamental question across many areas of biology. However, investigating this directly in animal brains is challenging because ...
The human body is a stressful place for bacteria to live. They must defend against many chemical and physical stressors, in addition to the immune system. One major physical stressor is fluid flow, which constantly circulates ...
Proteins are so much more than nutrients in food. Virtually every reaction in the body that makes life possible involves this large group of molecules. And when things go wrong in our health, proteins are usually part of ...
Understanding cellular heterogeneity is essential for deciphering the complexities of cellular subpopulations, differentiation processes, and microenvironmental influences. Single-cell proteomics plays a crucial role in explaining ...
A team of researchers led by Anna-Karin Gustavsson at Rice University has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale.
When you think of electric fields, you likely think of electricity—the stuff that makes modern life possible by powering everything from household appliances to cellphones. Researchers have been studying the principles of ...
Researchers have developed a highly sensitive detector for identifying molecules via their infrared vibrational "fingerprint." This innovative detector converts incident infrared light into ultra-confined "nanolight" in the ...
