In structural biology, some molecules are so unusual they can only be captured with a unique set of tools. That’s precisely how a team defined how antibodies can recognize a compound called phosphohistidine — a highly unstable molecule that has been found to play a central role in some forms of cancer.

Continue Reading →Researchers who focus on fat know that some adipose tissue is more prone to inflammation-related comorbidities than others, but the reasons why are not well understood. Thanks to a new analytical technique, scientists are getting a clearer view of the microenvironments found within adipose tissue associated with obesity. This advance may illuminate why some adipose […]

Researchers coupled this to a machine-learning process that can identify the distinctive characteristics of the disease-bearing samples.

Continue Reading →Researchers have developed a novel proton therapy technique to more specifically target cancer cells that resist other forms of treatment. The technique is called LEAP, an acronym for ‘biologically enhanced particle therapy.’ Source: Proton therapy induces biologic response to attack treatment-resistant cancers
Continue Reading →Lactate, a compound present in sweat, is an important biomarker to quantify during exercise. However, available wearable sensors can cause skin irritation, which calls for the use of different materials. In a recent study, scientists have developed a soft and nonirritating microfluidic sensor for the real-time measurement of lactate concentration in sweat. This wearable device […]
