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 ...
Your body is one of the most complex natural structures ever. Billions of cells are put together in a specific way with the result being you. If you look closely between the cells you'll find the extracellular matrix, a gel-like ...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health crisis because of microbes, such as bacteria, becoming resistant to antibiotics. A leading factor in this rise is the improper use and disposal of antibiotics in the ...
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 ...
A team of researchers has developed a microfluidic system to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Operating at the picoliter scale, the system condenses billions of bacterial cells into a confined microenvironment, accelerating ...
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 ...
Microfluidic technology has become increasingly important in many scientific fields, such as regenerative medicine, microelectronics, and environmental science. However, conventional microfabrication techniques face limitations ...
Experts from the Fraunhofer Institute for Microengineering and Microsystems IMM have harnessed their know-how in microfluidics and single-cell technologies to print organ structures. They will be presenting their developments ...
