Single-Molecule Molecular Machines
Protein Science has published a Special Issue on Molecular Machines guest edited by Carlos Bustamante from the Laboratory of Single Molecule Biophysics at UC Berkeley. Each living cell, whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic, is a microscopic but complex structure. Its...
Steps to Remedy In Vitro–In Vivo Discrepancies: Nanoparticle Interactions with Blood and Lymph
Interactions of nanoparticles with their surroundings, both in vitro and in vivo, are different simply because the environments are different. As such, the first insight towards answering complex questions associated with in vitro-in vivo translation are provided.
Graphitic Carbon Nitride Derivatives for Cryopreservation
In Advanced Materials, researchers report for the first time the application of graphitic carbon nitride derivatives for cryopreservation of biological systems.
Image-based Computational Fluid Dynamics in the Lung: Virtual Reality or New Clinical Practice?
Image-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) predicts airflow in the lungs, providing more sensitive biomarkers of how well your lungs are working.
Protein Science in Canada
The 31st Annual Symposium of the Protein Society will take place in Montreal, Canada. To commemorate this spectacular event and to celebrate our Canadian authors, a Virtual Issue in Protein Science is presented featuring the best of recent Canadian published papers.
Mutantelec: A Simulation Platform for Profiling of Proteins
The electrostatic potential of proteins determines their ability to interact with specific biological targets. A recent article discusses the application of a novel tool (Mutantelec) in understanding mutations in the tumor suppressor protein p53 and its consequence.s
Nanomaterials in Food – What Are the Risks?
Ingestion of engineered nanomaterials is inevitable due to their addition to food and prevalence in food packaging and domestic products such as toothpaste and sunscreen.
3D Cell Culture for Biological-Relevant, Neuroscientific, In Vitro Environments
The colonization of a 3D engineered scaffold is investigated, in the perspective of producing realistic 3D environments for cell culture
