Data extraction tool may lead to discovery of new polymers

The amount of published materials science research is growing at an exponential rate, too fast for scientists to keep up. To help these scholars, a first-of-its-kind materials science data extraction pipeline is now available ...

Researchers identify molecular mechanism of cancer invasion

A cancerous tumor is the accumulation of cells uncontrollably dividing, some of which can invade other parts of the body. The process is difficult to predict in detail, and eradicating the cells poses even greater difficulty.

Genetic engineering provides new insights into preventing malaria

A Burnet Institute-led collaboration has used genome sequencing and genetic engineering to explain how a specially selected drug molecule or compound can prevent the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum from invading red ...

A simple paper test could offer early cancer diagnosis

MIT engineers have designed a new nanoparticle sensor that could enable early diagnosis of cancer with a simple urine test. The sensors, which can detect many different cancerous proteins, could also be used to distinguish ...

Making engineered cells dance to ultrasound

Let's say you needed to move an individual cell from one place to another. How would you do it? Maybe some special tweezers? A really tiny shovel?
