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...
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...
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...
How to grow your own smart materials with live fermentation cultures
January 12, 2021
Have you ever made your own soda bread or homemade yoghurt using a fermented 'starter culture'? Imagine being able to cultivate your grow your own smart biomaterials at home using...
Nanoparticle drug-delivery system developed to treat brain disorders
January 6, 2021
A team of bioengineers has proven a novel system of nanoparticles can successfully carry three times more targeted drug across the previously difficult-to-breach healthy blood brain barrier. This shows promise...
