The “Space Bear” is Weird, but Not That Weird…
Together with many eukaryotes in which relatively large percentages of lateral gene transfer had been claimed, Tardigrades are now downgraded to normality, and here’s why…
Cyclic-di-GMP Regulation of Virulence in Bacterial Pathogens
Cyclic-di-GMP regulation of bacterial virulence is specific to each pathogen, strain, and type of infection. Differences in the composition and structure of extracellular matrix components could underlie the variation in immune response in the mammalian host.
Many Silver Linings: A New Affordable and Sustainable Way to Produce Silver Nanoparticles
Researchers created a one-step flow-through plasma-reaction system for a cheaper and more sustainable synthesis of silver nanoparticles aimed at large scale production.
3D Graphene-Oxide Spheres for Supercapacitors
An effective synthesis strategy via a flash-freezing and freeze-dry approach is presented, to synthesis 3D GO structures that exhibit fully accessible hierarchical porous networks for supercapacitor applications.
Diagnosing Bladder Cancer Made Inexpensive, Sensitive and Non-invasive
Ammps, a new cost-effective, sensitive and non-invasive clinical assay, for the detection and monitoring of bladder cancer.
Rainbow Cell Barcoding: Fluorescent Polymer Nanoparticles
A method that allows the long-term labeling of different cell populations in tens of different colors using fluorescent nanoparticles.
Manipulating Proteins inside Living Cells
Magnetogenetics is a promising approach manipulating cellular functions in tissues and organisms with high spatial and temporal resolution.
Take Heart: Self-Powered Wearable Sensor for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention
A flexible self-powered ultrasensitive pulse sensor (SUPS) based on a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is presented.
Adapting to Hurricanes: A Long-Term Historical Perspective on New Orleans (1718-2005)
A summary and results of a five-year research project on cultural adaptation to hurricane disasters in New Orleans from the city’s foundation in the French Colonial period 1718 to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 is presented.
