Revolutionary real-time microscopy unveils secrets of motor protein behavior

A team led by Professor Seo Dae-ha of the Department of Physics and Chemistry at DGIST (President Lee Kun-woo) has developed new real-time microscopy technology and successfully observed the behavior of “motor proteins”, which may hold the key to unraveling the efficient material transport strategy of cells. The research team used nanoparticle probe, high-resolution microscopy, […]

Visualizing centriole genesis with microscopy and kinematic reconstruction techniques

Cells contain various specialized structures – such as the nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes – known as “organelles”. Tracing their genesis and determining their structure is fundamental to understanding cell function and the pathologies linked to their dysfunction. Scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have combined high-resolution microscopy and kinematic reconstruction techniques to visualize, in […]

Nanobots for bladder cancer treatment, promising high efficacy and targeted delivery

Bladder cancer is currently treated in its earlier stages by localized intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy after removing the tumor. However, recurrences occur in up to 70% of patients at 5 years, while up to 30% fail to respond. This means a constant need to monitor and retreat these patients, driving costs sky-high for the treatment […]

AI-designed drug candidate shows promise for gastric acid inhibition

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan created and improved artificial intelligence (AI) designs to synthesize a candidate compound for a new gastric acid inhibitor with a better binding affinity than existing drugs. Their findings, published in Communications Biology, suggest a new way to work in tandem with AI to develop pharmaceuticals. Stomach acid is a […]

Bacteriophage cocktail can effectively disrupt Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilms on medical equipment

In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers investigated whether a cocktail of bacteriophages coding for the depolymerase polysaccharide could effectively disrupt Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilms. Study: Bacteriophages with depolymerase activity in the control of antibiotic resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilms. Image Credit: AnaLysiSStudiO/Shutterstock.comKlebsiella pneumoniae has been linked to several illnesses, including pneumonia, urogenital infection, liver […]

Elevated pressure in the bile canaliculi alters structure of the liver tissue

The liver produces bile, which the intestine uses for digestion. For the transport of bile, the liver relies on a network of microscopic tubings, known as bile canaliculi, formed by liver cells called hepatocytes. When the outflow of bile to the intestine is blocked, it collects in the liver and can lead to serious liver […]

Novel noninvasive test for malaria does not require a blood sample

A novel testing platform under development by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) and CytoAstra, LLC could provide a new noninvasive test for malaria that doesn’t require a blood sample. The platform technology, known as cytophone, detects malaria infection in blood cells using lasers and ultrasound. Researchers developing the platform believe it […]
