A team of Canadian researchers has shown that direct contact between an AP “cold” oxidizing plasma source and water that contains very high concentrations of cyanobacteria and green algae, along with associated BMAA toxin, could be quite rapidly (in minutes) decontaminated with modest energy input.
Bio-Interfaces for Immuno-Engineering
Special issue in Advanced Healthcare Materials, edited by Weiqiang Chen and Deok‐Ho Kim, including biomaterial-immune cell interactions, immunotherapy, immune organs-on-chip and mechanobiology.
Memory Allocation in the Hippocampus
Thiago França and José Monserrat discuss how episodic memories are coded by the hippocampus.
Recent Advances of Light-Based Single-Molecule Approaches for Studying Biomolecules
Recent advances in single‐molecule techniques have led to new discoveries in analytical chemistry, biophysics, and medicine. Understanding the structure and behavior of single biomolecules provides a wealth of information compared to studying large ensembles.
When Multi-Subunit Complexes Meet: Replisome-Cohesin Interactions at the Replication Fork
Exploring cohesin and replisome interactions during DNA replication.
Microtruck Delivery Service: Transporting Microcargo using Amoeboid Cells
Amoeboid cell microtransporters carry microcargo in an independent, self-organized fashion.
Rnt1p: An Alternative to RNAi for Targeted RNA Degradation
The double‐stranded RNA‐binding protein family controls RNA editing, stability, and function in all eukaryotes.
Mimicking Healthy and Diseased Cell Environments
Research suggests that epigenetic remodeling can be persistent and might be a memory keeper.
Biomorphic Red Blood Cells for Photodynamic Therapy
Multifunctional polylactide stomatocytes are engineered to mimic red blood cells.
