Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have harnessed machine learning and molecular dynamics to advance our understanding of the interactions between metal nanoparticles and blood proteins. This development paves the way for targeted nanomedicine applications, from cancer therapy to advanced diagnostics.

Labs that can’t afford expensive super-resolution microscopes could use a new expansion technique to image nanoscale structures inside cells.

Researchers in the lab of U-Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering Asst. Prof. Sihong Wang have developed a hydrogel that retains the semiconductive ability needed to transmit information between living tissue and machine, which can be used both in implantable medical devices and non-surgical applications.

As the number and complexity of samples and drug products grows, pharmaceutical and biotechnology organisations are facing challenges in storing samples requiring ultra-low temperatures. However, advanced solutions exist to overcome these challenges — solutions that introduce centralisation, automation, innovation, and third-party services to sample management.

Researchers have made use of experiments and computational modeling to study interactions between carbon molecules and clay minerals in the soil. They found that electrostatic charges, structural features of carbon molecules, surrounding metal nutrients in soil and competition among molecules all play major roles in the soil’s ability or inability to trap carbon.

Physicists have come up with a novel method of repurposing fish scale waste to effectively remove the pollutant Rhodamine B from water, and a material for information encryption. This method has the potential to reduce environmental impact and generate economic benefits.

Shimadzu has introduced Nexera XS inert, a bioinert and biocompatible Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (UHPLC) system. The inert features a metal-free sample flow that proves beneficial for analyzing biopolymers.

Researchers have made use of a novel AI-based method called Drfold to enhance the accuracy of RNA models by more than 70 percent when compared to traditional approaches.

Researchers are working to develop a small, implantable device which has the potential to sense and even treat cancer. This project has received a funding of 45 million dollars from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.

Origin-of-life chemists from Scripps Research and the Georgia Institute of Technology propose that glyoxylate could have been the original source of sugars on the “prebiotic” Earth — a prerequisite for the development of life.
