“Evolution‐on‐a‐chip” device helps reveal mutations that lead to superbugs
A well-based microfluidic device allows researchers to generate important data that are needed to better understand the parameters that influence evolution in bacteria to combat antibiotic resistance.
What is CRISPR?
Here we take a look at how CRISPR, the revolutionary “molecular scissors”, works and where its being used.
Protein synthesis: An adaptive “hive mind” of cellular proportions
New evidence suggests a hidden “intelligence” of a life-sustaining pathway.
Multicellular liver-on-a-chip for modeling fatty liver disease
A structurally representative liver-on-a-chip models the full progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which researchers hope will lead to better treatments.
This month in pictures
From patchwork liquid marbles, artificial nerve grafts, and giant perovskites, this gallery features a host of incredible images, bringing life to the research behind them.
Artificial intelligence could be promising alternative to animal models
Replacing animal testing with the ever-growing capabilities of AI and deep learning could help minimize the need for animals in scientific discovery.
How do you sample blood in a non-invasive way?
Graphene-based biosensors incorporated in arrays of microneedles are emerging as an alternative to hypodermic needles and could be the next generation of blood sampling devices.
