How fat cells become fat: Insights from phosphoproteomics
Fat is stored in adipocytes in the adipose tissue. In addition, the tissue contains other cell types including fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, immune cells and preadipocytes.
CellShape: imaging bacterial factories from the inside
Researchers have developed CellShape, a user-friendly image analysis tool for quantitative visualization of bacterial cell factories
Smart hydrogels rapidly stop blood loss
Researchers report the first example of a hydrogel for wound healing with both rapid self-healing ability and high mechanical strength.
How to pattern a liquid metal
Michael Dickey and colleagues at the North Carolina State University have found a very simple way to pattern liquid metals.
One Step Further towards Diagnosing Dengue at the Point-Of-Care
Paper-polymer hybrid material-based lateral flow assays are there to offer highly sensitive, semi-quantitative detection of dengue infection at the point-of-care.
Photoprotection or Photodamage? An Old But Unsolved Debate About Melanin
Over the past decade, melanin pigments and their subunits have attracted increasing interest as soft biocompatible functional materials with antioxidant properties for engineering high performance, low impact biocompatible optoelectronic devices, such as memory...
Flexible Electronic Paper in Color
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology have shown that so called plasmonic metasurfaces, ultrathin nanostructured solid materials, can be used for reflective color displays if functionalized with conductive polymers.
