Understanding the interactions, permeability, and partitioning of drug delivery systems in ocular tissues can improve the drug retention time and bioavailability.
New Optoacoustic Visualization Technique for Hyperthermia
A team of researchers demonstrated the capability of RSOM for detailed, cross‐sectional visualization of microvascular changes in the skin in the volar and dorsal aspects of the human forearm in response to local hyperthermia.
Viruses as Controllable Nanodevices
Physical, chemical, and synthetic virology work together to reprogram viruses as controllable nanodevices.
Systems Biology of Robustness and Homeostatic Mechanisms
All organisms are subject to large amounts of genetic and environmental variation and have evolved mechanisms that allow them to function well in spite of these challenges. This property is generally referred to as robustness.
Membraneless Nuclear Organelles and the Search for Phases Within Phases
An analysis of nuclear body protein disorder that suggests MLO proteomes are significantly more disordered than structured cellular features.
Is it Respiratory Syncytial Virus or Not?
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is well recognized as a primary cause for lower respiratory infection or bronchiolitis in infancy, but how many events coded as bronchiolitis are actually attributable to RSV?
Overcoming Organ Transplant Rejection with Hydrogels [Video]
Researchers devise an effective method to reduce transplant rejection following surgery.
Engineering Precision Medicine
Ali Khademhosseini and his co-workers take a detailed look how engineering approaches can contribute to the field of precision medicine.
Hall of Fame Highlight: Joanna Aizenberg
Joanna Aizenberg talks about the people who inspire her, her advice to early-career researchers, and her hopes for the future of scientific research.
The Complex Enzymology Of mRNA Decapping
Single stranded RNAs with a free 5′ monophosphate end are susceptible to rapid degradation. Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are stabilized by hairpin structures and by “hiding” their 5′ ends within complex protein structures.
