Natural Trumps Artificial in Antibody–Antigen Interactions
Biosensors using natural and artificial antibodies show different responses. Both systems are tracked with pico-newton resolution to find out why.
Behavioral Analysis in Social Networks
A review of the methods for modeling and analyzing online user behaviors found in social networks.
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.
A Golden Guide to Brain Surgery
Taking the headache out of brain surgery: these gold nanoparticles cross the blood–brain barrier and report when they hit tumour tissue.
Cell-Material Interactions at High Throughput
TopoWellPlate, a 96-well plate based material topography library, enables mechanistic studies on cell-material interactions using standard molecular methods.
