The Best of Two Cells: Hybrid Membrane Coatings
A new hybrid nanomaterial combines membranes from multiple cell types, enabling the fabrication of membrane-coated nanoparticles with an increased number of functionalities.
Combining Fluorescence and Electron Microscopy for 3D Cell Imaging
Combining the high-throughput and large scale analysis of fluorescence microscopy with the enhanced resolution capabilities of electron microscopy can allow imaging of cellular interactions and mechanisms without being limited by resolution.
A Golden Guide to Brain Surgery
Taking the headache out of brain surgery: these gold nanoparticles cross the blood–brain barrier and report when they hit tumour tissue.
Cancer Metastasis Hobgoblins: Circulating Tumor Cell Clusters
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are stray cancer cells that shed from the primary cancer site and travel to healthy tissues and organs via the blood or lymphatic circulation. Once CTCs settle in their new location, they transform healthy cells around them into cancerous cells.
Same Signal, Different Tissues: Morphogen Interpretation
How developmental cues specify these distinct cell types in embryos and coordinate their patterning into functional tissues is one of the fundamental questions of developmental biology.
