Making lab-grown meat with a new 3D-printing strategy that combines fat and muscle cells to make the perfect, artificial steak.
Advanced Science
Bacteria provide heart attack treatment
Implants containing cyanobacteria help produce oxygen within heart tissue to repair damage done after a heart attack.
Light-activated molecular machines combat antimicrobial resistance
A selective weapon that can be remotely controlled to kill bacteria independently or in concert with current antibiotic approaches.
Engineered peptides help boost natural defenses against influenza
Clumping proteins act as vaccine adjuvants, activating immune signalling pathways triggered by cell stress.
Pesticide detection improved using flame spray technique
The new sensors reliably and uniformly detected molecular signals, and their performance remained intact when tested again after two and a half months.
Broad-spectrum antivirals made from polymers
Polymer-based broad spectrum antivirals show activity against Zika, Ebola, HIV-1, the Herpes simplex virus, and now, SARS-CoV-2.
Forest restoration benefits depend on location
The long-term benefits of global forest restoration to support biodiversity and ecosystems depends on climate and forest type.
Uncovering the secrets of cellular organization
A 3D hydrogel model provides key insights into how cells sense and respond to elements of their environment.
Anticancer peptides offer hope for triple-negative breast cancer
Triple-negative breast cancer has poor survival and few therapeutic options — but with a new approach, things could change.
