A simple prototype cell sorter has grown over time to incorporate technological advances that make it an even more indispensable tool for understanding biology and disease states ...
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) primarily function as weak antigen-presenting cells (APC), but have also been shown to ...
Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum discovered that a lipid anchor on nerve cell membranes stabilizes prion protein folding ...
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created nanostructured alumina surfaces which are strongly antibacterial but can be used to culture cells. They found that anodic porous alumina ...
A new method based on optical tweezers can measure viscoelasticity of biological materials in a simpler and more versatile ...
A novel molecular tool developed by a Lehigh University professor of biological sciences is enabling scientists to precisely ...
Molecular jackhammers that vibrate under near-infrared light, destroying cancer cells. The method had a 99% success rate in ...

Industrial waste can make rudimentary batteries. That's likely no good in electric cars etc, but could be ideal for stashing ...
Smaller nucleoli slow aging, acting as a "mortality timer," while larger nucleoli lead to cell death by destabilizing rDNA. The secret to cellular youth may lie in maintaining a small nucleolus—a ...
