Every oncologist and cancer researcher is familiar with the hallmarks of cancer, a series of functional capabilities that human cells acquire as they transition from a normal state to a neoplastic state (a state of excessive and abnormal…
She taught at the college for 29 years, and a colleague said: “Her extraordinary kindness, compassion, dedication, and care were at the core of our departmental values as a community."
The Genome Editing Research Group at the Department of Cell Biology and Genetics, University of Lagos hereby invites interested scientists and researchers to a hands-on-workshop on: “Harnessing the Power of Genome Editing Technology for…
Lysosomes are critical for cellular degradation, characterized by their acidic pH and array of hydrolytic enzymes. They degrade materials through endocytosis, phagocytosis, and autophagy, recycling essential components. Lysosomes also…
A multistep biosynthetic process in yeast cheaply produces an expensive adjuvant now extracted from tree bark. Vaccines save lives, as proven during the recent pandemic,...
Plans to unite the capabilities of two cutting-edge technological facilities promise to usher in a new era of dynamic structural biology. Through DOE's Integrated Research Infrastructure, or IRI, initiative, the facilities will complement…
Join this keynote discussion on the latest advancements, new norms, emerging trends and breakthrough topics from AACR by our expert panelists, offering clarity on the current landscape, with a deep dive into the latest advancements on how…
Airway hillocks are mysterious, flat-topped structures that were only recently identified within regular lung tissue, and their role in airway biology and pathology has previously been unknown.
Scientists are harnessing cells to make new types of materials that can grow, repair themselves and even respond to their environment. These solid "engineered living materials" are made by embedding cells in an inanimate matrix that's…
New study uses 3D printing and genetically modified plant cells to create complex, self-repairing materials that could revolutionize biomanufacturing and construction. Scientists are harnessing cells...
Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) allow current to flow in devices like implantable biosensors. But scientists long knew about a quirk of OECTs that no one could explain: When an OECT is switched on, there is a lag before current…
Eliseo Pérez-Stable, MD, director of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, talks about health disparities and how his studies aim to improve interventions in clinical settings and across communities.
A new study published in the Journal of Pest Science explores the biology, impact, management and potential distribution of the invasive, red-necked longhorn beetle (Aromia bungii) which has recently invaded Japan, Germany, and Italy.
Researchers who want to bridge the divide between biology and technology spend a lot of time thinking about translating between the two different "languages" of those realms.
