Bioluminescence: a life study of ocean light
March 30, 2021
Bioluminescence is visually magical and has inspired many scientists to dive deep to discover its secrets. As a result of this research, some fantastic research tools have been developed that...
Microbial lipoxygenases: a next target against antibiotic resistance?
March 15, 2021
Russian researchers Georgy Kurakin, Anna Samoukina and Nadezhda Potapova use bioinformatics to uncover the evolutionary roots of microbial lipoxygenase functionality and raise the possibility that these enzymes may be the...
Resistance is rarely futile – reinvigorating the AMR ecosystem
March 5, 2021
Might we defeat our oldest enemy in fighting one of the newest? Peter Jackson looks at how lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic can support the development of new treatments...

Towards ‘Zero Leprosy’ – model shows 40 million people need preventive treatment
March 5, 2021
As the world considers strategies towards 'Zero COVID', research specialists also continue to work on eliminating the many other infectious diseases we have learned to 'live with'. Now, new research...
Unleashing the power of digital image analysis
March 1, 2021
The practice of image analysis has been evolving for years, but the UK's lockdown has hit fast-forward on its shift into the digital world. Here, Andreas Theodosi discusses the impact...

Excellent standards drive commercial demand in bioproduction
February 22, 2021
Protein biochemist, Dr Bernd Gerhartz, tells the story of how he and his team established a new strategy, development workflow and QC process to provide consistent, high-quality bioactive proteins to...
Unveiling the twist in cell-to-cell signal transport using cryogenic electron microscopy
February 18, 2021
It seems chemical signals move through cells in a similarly controlled fashion to shoppers moving through a shopping centre; by using elevators. Using a form of high-resolution microscopy called cryogenic...
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...
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...
