RCSI study has potential to transform surgical management of cancer

The miniaturized imaging and sensing probe has been developed to help study drug-induced hyperthermia

A research team reports photo-clickable miRNAs as probes for intracellular target identification of miRNAs

Recently developed superresolution (SR) microscopy breaks the diffraction limit and offers the requisite spatial resolution but usually at the cost of slow imaging speed and excessive damage

The bottom line could be a potentially new class of high thermal conductivity materials useful for heat dissipation from power electronics, LEDs, and other applications

Protein glutathione S-transferase (GST) used as  target for a proof-of-concept study

Lysosomes are the garbage disposals of animal cells. As the resources are limited in cells, organic materials are broken down and recycled a lot — and that’s what lysosomes do. Detecting problems with lysosomes is the focus of a new set of fluorescent probes developed by researchers at Michigan Technological University. The Royal Society of Chemistry published their work in January.

Los Alamos researchers believe they have solved a lingering mystery about how electrons within Earth’s radiation belt can suddenly become energetic enough to kill orbiting satellites.
