Designing healthy diets with mathematical modelling and computer analysis

April 22, 2021
When it comes to diets, no one size fits all. Now, researchers have demonstrated a the ability to apply accurate mathematical modelling and computer analysis to predict how an individual's...

Advancing our understanding of life’s design rules: seven genes tame simple synthetic cell division

April 6, 2021
Recent results in cellular engineering bring us one step closer to understanding the fundamental design rules that govern life. Building on the construction of the first synthetic cell in 2010,...

Bringing DNA sequencing to the frontlines in the fight against anti-microbial resistance

March 10, 2021
The future may see DNA sequencing as a routine bacterial diagnostic technique in hospitals and clinical care settings. An interdisciplinary network of academics and industry experts aim to bring the...

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...

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...

Targeted microbubbles for controlled cancer treatment

December 10, 2020
Targeted cancer treatment just got a navigation system. A research team from Leeds has successfully wrapped what might otherwise be toxic anti-cancer agent in what are effectively pre-programmed microbubbles. Drug-laden...

An artificial cell on a chip

October 28, 2020
Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a precisely controllable system for mimicking biochemical reaction cascades in cells. Using microfluidic technology, they produce miniature polymeric reaction containers equipped with...
