(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.
A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...
A tiny antibody component could fundamentally transform the treatment of cystic fibrosis: For the first time, researchers ...
Scientists at Durham University, working in partnership with Jagiellonian University in Poland, have developed a new ...
Researchers at Durham have helped unlock a new understanding of how bacteria import antimicrobial peptides—the molecules that can kill or inhibit microbes. The research sheds new light on SbmA, a key ...
