From pasteurization to the first manufactured vaccines, Louis Pasteur made breakthrough discoveries in disease prevention and public health.
Results for "bacteria"
What shapes the lung microbiome?
It is generally accepted that a community of beneficial bacteria make up the lung microbiome, but their origin and formation have remained unclear — until now.
Visualizing cell membranes using a plasma membrane-on-a-chip
Compared to other platforms, this new “on-a-chip” system allows membrane proteins to be studied in their natural state.
How do nanoplastics affect crop yield and nutrition?
From soil to the seed, nanoplastics were shown to accumulate in rice and peanuts with potential affects on crop yield and nutrition.
Mimicking viral factories for better drug delivery
New research inspired by “viral factories” shows the potential of encapsulating target molecules in membrane-free compartments.
George de Hevesy, father of nuclear medicine
Famous for his work on radioactive elements and the development of radiotracers, George de Hevesy made the first observations of biological processes in living organisms possible.
Medical swimming cellbots
Swimming cellbots capable of autonomous motion and drug encapsulation can deliver their payload at desired sites.
