Investigating EV production and purification methods by mimicking the natural release process of EVs in blood capillaries with a bioinspired mechanical microfluidic method.
Transmissible Cancers – Quo Vaditis?
Cancers that kill are the paradigm that most people know, but there’s more to cancer than just that…
Tumor Spheroids in Glass
For the first time tumor spheroid formation can be observed in transparent liquid marbles.
From Cells, To Cells: A Step Forward in Targeted Drug Delivery
Extracellular vesicles are highly biocompatible and efficient carriers for targeted and personalized drug delivery.
Potential Mechanisms of Zika-linked Microcephaly
Zika virus is an emerging mosquito-borne infectious disease linked to recent outbreaks of birth defects.
RNA Making a Move
Do not expect RNA to sit still. Although structural investigations typically illustrate a single, more or less static picture of an RNA, most RNAs most undergo conformational changes to exert their cellular function.
The Best of Two Cells: Hybrid Membrane Coatings
A new hybrid nanomaterial combines membranes from multiple cell types, enabling the fabrication of membrane-coated nanoparticles with an increased number of functionalities.
Combining Fluorescence and Electron Microscopy for 3D Cell Imaging
Combining the high-throughput and large scale analysis of fluorescence microscopy with the enhanced resolution capabilities of electron microscopy can allow imaging of cellular interactions and mechanisms without being limited by resolution.
Essential But Toxic – Copper Homeostasis
Humans are rich in copper. And so are all other living organisms. But copper is toxic, therefore, it has to be kept at bay to counteract its cytotoxic effects in live cells – how do we stay healthy?
Why We Drink as Much as Our Food Intake Requires Us To
The neural survival mechanism that prioritizes water over food when the chips are down…
