Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel undergoes significant but precise changes in size between 20°C and 40°C, making it an excellent candidate for use in variable-size deterministic lateral ...

Attendees will see some common applications of cell sorting in a department of immunology. Beginning with an introduction of lymphoproliferative disorders in inborn errors of immunity. 1. How cell ...

To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to ...

To isolate specific cell populations, researchers frequently employ fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). While this flow cytometry-based technique analyzes the cells’ fluorescence, it cannot ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

Keeping a qubit stable is difficult enough, even in an ideal environment. Now, researchers have figured out how to make a protein behave like a qubit in a living cell. Fluorescent proteins were used ...
