(PhysOrg.com) -- Individual cells modified to act as sensors using fluorescence are already useful tools in biochemistry, but now they can add good timing to their resumé, thanks in part to expertise ...

Fibrosis is the body's way of patching up damage—a bit like fixing a pothole. When skin is cut or a muscle is injured, ...

Whether for drug screening or toxicity testing, stem cell-based 3D tissue models are key to biomedical research. However, producing cell aggregates in bioreactors is highly complex and cost-intensive.

(Nanowerk News) A research team led by scientists at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has developed a novel cell sensor with a barcode-like micro-channel structure that enables rapid and low-cost ...

RNA is a central and universal mediator of genetic information underlying the diversity of cell types and states. The lack of tools for studying and controlling various cell types using RNAs continues ...

Scientists have developed a molecular sensor to measure 'crowding' in cells, which reflects the concentration of macromolecules present. The sensor provides quantitative information on the ...

Tagging nonfluorescent molecules in live biological cells with fluorescent proteins has allowed researchers to visualize the hustle and bustle taking place in these membrane-bound metropolises and was ...
