About 66 million years ago—perhaps on a downright unlucky day in May—an asteroid smashed into our planet.
During embryonic development, thousands of cells divide and move collectively to sculpt the main body axes. Understanding the mechanisms that coordinate this collective behavior remains a significant challenge in biology ...
A team of biomedical researchers led by Michael Mak, Ph.D., in the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, has developed a new method of bioprinting physiological materials. Called TRACE (Tunable Rapid Assembly ...
Inspired by the way viruses attach to cells, EPFL scientists have developed a method for engineering ultra-selective aptamers.
Boise State University researchers have developed a new technique and platform to communicate with cells and help drive them toward cartilage formation. Their work leverages a 3D biocompatible form of carbon known as graphene ...
Scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC), in collaboration with national and international research centers, have identified a key immune cell subtype involved in the development ...
Cardiovascular disease and kidney disease are two of the most urgent issues in global public health. In the United States alone, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that more than one in seven adults ...
Since the discovery of penicillin nearly a century ago, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a stealthy, pervasive enemy in the fight against bacterial infections. AMR claims an estimated 1.27 million lives a year and ...
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, global interest in antiviral therapies has increased significantly. Recently, with the growing attention to peptide-based drugs such as Wegovy, demand for effective peptide therapeutics derived ...
Throughout its nearly 100-year manufacturing history, the crack resistance of natural rubber—one of the world's most widely used biomaterials—hasn't improved much. Until now. Materials researchers at the Harvard John ...
