It started as a joke. How do you put an elephant in a refrigerator? You open the door and put it in. So, how do you put in a giraffe? You open the door, take out the elephant, and put the giraffe in.

3D printing technology has already transformed the field of biomedical research by allowing scientists to produce soft tissue, replacement windpipes, and working hearts on a whim. But each of these ...

In a significant advancement for lab-on-chip technology, IBEC researchers in the frame of the European project BLOC, have demonstrated the first integration of a benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance ...

A new analytical method could improve how cancer treatments are designed—by allowing scientists to track, for the first time, exactly where inside a living cell a drug accumulates. Researchers from ...

Crystalline polymers assembled inside tumor cell lysosomes rupture membranes, release iron, and trigger immune-activating ferroptosis that shrinks tumors in mice. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cells produce ...

Researchers developed a new machine learning method that, given a relevant amino acid sequence, can automatically predict the location of a protein in any human cell line down to the single-cell level ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: First discovered in 1986, vaults are mysterious organelles whose exact functions still remain unknown. Now, researchers themselves have given vaults ...

A cell nucleus reconstituted in vitro in Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog) egg extract. Left image shows a fluorescence image where DNA has been stained and right image shows a density map of the ...
