An optical trapping transmission measurement technique for the spectral analysis of HIV-1 infected cells.
Minimal Cells, Maximal Impact
Members of the Max Planck Research Network in Synthetic Biology put together a special issue on synthetic cells for Advanced Biosystems.
IL7 Receptor Signaling in T Cells: A Mathematical Modelling Perspective
How T cells maintain homeostasis and maximize the size of the peripheral T cell pool are important questions that have fascinated both immunologists and mathematicians.
3D Printed Heart with Patient’s Own Cells
Israeli scientists have engineered a heart that completely matches the cellular and anatomical properties of the patient.
Raman Spectroscopy Guidance System Integrated with a Brain Biopsy Needle
A team of Canadian researchers developed and clinically tested a navigation‐guided fiberoptic Raman probe that allows surgeons to interrogate brain tissue in situ at the tip of the biopsy needle prior to tissue removal.
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.
Organotypic Culture System for in vitro Bone Modeling
An organotypic culture system that allows the production of bone tissue features on a centimeter scale.
Microtruck Delivery Service: Transporting Microcargo using Amoeboid Cells
Amoeboid cell microtransporters carry microcargo in an independent, self-organized fashion.
Biomorphic Red Blood Cells for Photodynamic Therapy
Multifunctional polylactide stomatocytes are engineered to mimic red blood cells.
Systems Biology of Robustness and Homeostatic Mechanisms
All organisms are subject to large amounts of genetic and environmental variation and have evolved mechanisms that allow them to function well in spite of these challenges. This property is generally referred to as robustness.
