Moving away from our dependence on antibiotics through alternative antimicrobial strategies.
Biodegradation of Plastic Waste
Researchers in Germany exploit enzymes to break down and recycle the most widely-used plastic for packaging.
Generation of Pancreatic Ductal Organoids
Intact whole-mount immunostaining of organoids after growth for 14 days.
Earth Day 2019: The Mother of Green Materials
A new process for making biomimetic materials.
Rotibot: A Biohybrid Microrobot for Water Decontamination
The Rotibot decontaminates water using functionalized microbeads (yellow) accumulated around the rotifer mouth (blue).
Enhanced Photocatalytic Nitrogen Fixation by Tuning Oxygen Vacancies
A new strategy for achieving precise control of the concentration of VO in semiconductor photocatalysts for solar ammonia synthesis was discovered.
Stress-Induced mRNP Granules: Form and Function of P-bodies and Stress Granules
In response to stress, cells must quickly reprogram gene expression to adapt and survive. This is achieved in part by altering levels of mRNAs and their translation into proteins.
Determining Drug Transport across the Placental Barrier
Organ-on-a-chip technology allows for the study of caffeine transport across the placenta to the fetus during pregnancy.
Stem Cell-Macrophage Interactions with Ferumoxytol and Ferumoxytol-derived Nanoparticles
“Off the shelf” allogeneic stem cell transplants and stem cell nano‐composites are being used for the treatment of degenerative bone diseases. However, major and minor histocompatibility antigens of therapeutic cell transplants can be recognized as foreign and lead to their rejection by the host immune system.
