Faith Osier: “Throw yourself wholeheartedly into what you do”
With research groups spread over two continents, Osier is striving to eliminate malaria through her groundbreaking work in immunology, advocacy and awareness.
Accurate diagnosis and treatment of early-stage lung cancer
Polypeptides that selectively induce calcification of cancer cells could improve early detection and limit the progression of lung cancer.
What is CRISPR?
Here we take a look at how CRISPR, the revolutionary “molecular scissors”, works and where its being used.
Shape-shifting 4D materials provide new opportunity for tissue engineering
A new hydrogel can incorporate high cell density constructs to better mimic the rearrangement of native tissue in bioengineering.
Researchers develop stable, high energy density supercapacitor
The Achilles heel of supercapacitors as energy storage devices, is gradually being overcome.
Leveraging the lung’s biogenesis to repair the heart
Stem cells found in the lungs can be redirected to the heart using a new inhaled antibody therapy to help boost healing following a heart attack.
Growing new cartilage with magnetic fields and hydrogels
Researchers use an enhanced technique to pattern unaltered cells within a 3D hydrogel, allowing them to recreate complex biological tissue for regenerative medicine.
The challenges in moving beyond animal models in research
Animal testing remains a principle screening tool in the drug discovery pipeline, but are they reliable and could there be alternatives to replace them?
Mimicking mechanical properties of tissues to shed light on cancer cell behavior and migration
Researchers engineer a hydrogel that recapitulates biophysical changes in the tissues surrounding tumors to investigate how stiffness impacts the mobility of invasive and non-invasive cancer cells.
