Drug Delivery System Targets Cancer Stem Cells
A research group in Japan has devised a drug delivery system that enhances the efficacy of inhibitors used to destroy cancer stem cells.
Searching For Signs, Not Symptoms
Blood biomarkers for Alzheimer’s can betray the presence of diseaseassociated changes in the brain decades before symptoms set in.
10 Award-Winning Scientists From Japan To Watch
From biomedicine to particle physics, these ten award-winning scientists from Japan are making an impact across the globe with their discoveries.
How To Send Molecules On A One-Way Journey
Researchers in Japan have invented a ratchet-like molecular machine, where a chemical reaction is coupled with unidirectional movement.
Solving The Puzzle Of Bacteria Propeller Assembly
Using high-speed atomic force microscopy, Japanese researchers have gained a better understanding of the stepwise assembly of bacterial flagella.
Putting The Paper Back Into E-Paper
Scientists in Japan have developed technology that could pave the way for paper-based electronic books.
Even Short Trips Expose Travelers To Antibiotic Resistant Bugs
Almost 90 percent of Japanese travelers in a small study were found to have picked up antibiotic-resistant bacteria from short trips to Vietnam.
How Immune Cells Help Wire The Brain
Contrary to the general consensus that the brain is an immune privileged site, researchers have shown that a specific group of immune cells are required for the maturation of neurons.
Terahertz Microfluidics Enables Label-Free Detection
By generating terahertz waves in close proximity to a microfluidic channel, researchers in Japan have developed a device which could be used to detect cancer, diabetes and the flu.
