University of Houston and Pennsylvania State University researchers fabricate conducting polymer microcups from polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) for neural applications and drug delivery. These microcups are tunable in terms of size, surface roughness, electrical properties, and drug release.
Non-coding RNA expression varies at the single cell level, at least as much variability as protein-coding RNA, and some classes of non-coding RNA may display more single cell variability.
The Lense–Thirring effect, originating in rotating curved spacetimes, involves the precession of a spinning gyroscope around the axis of rotation relative to a Copernican frame. The rotating spacetime around the earth also exhibits the weaker version of this effect;...
Spanish researcher found a way to replace bisphenol-A with limonene in polycarbonates.
A simple and effective, injectable hydrogel system with tunable fiber orientation for directed cell growth in demonstrated.
Researchers’ try to create a material bond between steel sheets and bulk aluminium parts already during the forming process – without the need for an extra joining step.
A new in vivo strategy for displaying foreign polypeptides on magnetosomes is presented.
Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University, China, prepare a composite based on nickel nitride and sulfide nanosheets as the anode material for lithium ion batteries. The composite has enhanced cycle stability and lithiation capacity compared to the nitride and sulfide alone.
Ting Zhang and co-workers from the Suzhou Institute of Nano-Tech and Nano-Bionics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences develop a novel superhydrophobic and piezoresistive coating for wearable sensing devices. The coating is durable in harsh conditions and can be used to detect real-time human movement when fabricated as a wearable strain sensor.
RNA-binding proteins influence epithelial ovarian cancer progression through complex networks with mRNAs, non-coding RNAs and other proteins.
