Researchers report a study on the proteins of the natural mummy of Cangrande della Scala (Prince of Verona, Northern Italy).
New protocols for the isolation of UC-MSCs are explored, including several helpful, individual protocols to aid quality control and ensure that the UC-MSCs are characterized thoroughly while improving yield.
A Boolean logic gate is constructed within a single molecule, controlled by light and protonation.
The unmineralized teeth of the giant keyhole limpet are shown to have mechanical properties similar to those of mineralized mammalian bones.

Humans are rich in copper. And so are all other living organisms. But copper is toxic, therefore, it has to be kept at bay to counteract its cytotoxic effects in live cells – how do we stay healthy?
The NITEC reaction is explored with tetrazole-functionalised microparticles, and demonstrates micrometer-scale resolution as a surface-patterning technique.
TopoWellPlate, a 96-well plate based material topography library, enables mechanistic studies on cell-material interactions using standard molecular methods.
