IN THE LAB
Overcoming The Vascularization Challenge
The ability to print organs equipped with a blood supply could revolutionize the field of bioprinting.
Which Genes Make A Head?
Scientists are one step closer to understanding how complex organs can be regenerated, thanks to a study on head formation in frogs.
High-Precision Spectroscopy Paves The Way For Atomic Clocks
Scientists have developed a method of trapping atoms in an optical lattice that could lead to the miniaturization of atomic clocks.
Amyloid Fibrils: The Link Between HIV & Alzheimer’s
Scientists have found that the protein fibrils which enhance the infective ability of HIV are toxic to neuronal cells even when disaggregated.
A*STAR & Roche Develop Cancer Killing Antibodies
Scientists have developed a new approach to cancer treatment: using antibodies which can target and directly kill cancer cells.
‘Liquid Biopsy’ Picks Up CTCs
Scientists have developed a non-invasive method to detect circulating tumor cells, opening up possibilities for personalized cancer treatments.
GABA: A New Target For Alzheimer’s Drugs
The discovery that GABA production by reactive astrocytes causes memory loss in Alzheimer's patients could lead to new ways to treat the disease.
Soybean Salt Tolerance Gene Found
A gene which confers salt tolerance has been isolated from the wild soybean plant.
Tropical Fish Migration Destroying Kelp & Seagrass
Climate change-driven overgrazing of kelp and seagrass in Japanese waters has already led to the collapse of abalone fisheries.
