4 ways technology is improving the healthcare supply chain
February 19, 2021
During the past year, the healthcare supply chain has been pushed to the limits. Shortages in supplies can impact both the patients in the hospitals, and the staff themselves. Emily...
“Let’s not wait another 100 years to collaborate” appeals President of The Pistoia Alliance
February 16, 2021
The breakthroughs in vaccine development that have been achieved in just ten months clearly demonstrate the value of working together across biopharma and how collaboration can produce hugely valuable outcomes...

Cell shape influences antibiotic resistance
February 3, 2021
A broad, curvy shape has a lower surface-to-volume ratio and is less susceptible to surface invasion. So, being wide and curvatious helps bacteria survive antibiotics, continue to grow, and adapt...
Bright future for multitasking CRISPR as it tackles complex diseases and COVID
January 29, 2021
In these pseudo-dystopian days of unprecedented pandemic. white-coated men and women in labs all over the world are the shock troops in a relentless campaign against the unseen enemy. Here...
Antiviral coating kills viruses and bacteria for product lifetime
January 26, 2021
Can you imagine a world where you wouldn't have to worry about disease transmission from surfaces such as door handles, keyboards, bank notes, and even doctor's gowns and facemasks? Matt...
Developing multi-functional catalysts with light switches
January 25, 2021
Researchers were able to observe the atomic-scale features of a catalyst using an environmental transmission electron microscope, enabling them to manipulate and optimise catalytic reactions using light. This technique could...
Why cells don’t get stuck – generalised cell migration and motility modelled mathematically
January 22, 2021
Cell movement has now been mathematically modelled by an interdisciplinary team of theoretical and experimental physicists. Understanding this fundamental process will allow scientists to predict cell behaviours and improve targeted...
2020’s top 100 highlights in research and scholarly commentary
January 21, 2021
Good science thrives - even during a pandemic! We all know what dominated most of our thoughts in 2020, but many scientists continued to focus on driving ideas within their...
Laser-triggered chemical adhesion for tissue engineering of replacement organs
January 19, 2021
Laser-triggered chemical adhesion used to build proteins onto biological polymer scaffolding to bring artificial but functional, laboratory-grown replacement organs one step closer to a reality. Researchers have found lasers and...
Uncovering the magic of metallographic Turing pattern formation
January 19, 2021
While we have become used to seeing stripes and spots in nature, it still seems amazing to see similarily distinct 'Turing patterns' form on non-biological surfaces. Now, an international research...
