Magnetic micropillar arrays consist of tiny, vertical pin-shaped structures, arranged in a grid-like pattern. These micropillars can change their shape to a pre-programmed geometry when exposed to a ...

Scientists at Northwestern University have created fully printed artificial neurons that successfully sent signals to living mouse brain cells, marking a milestone in biohybrid computing. The flexible ...

Cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) are a large family of secreted bacterial pore-forming toxins that specifically bind cholesterol-containing mammalian membranes 1. Although the pore size ...

Protein disulfide isomerase a4 (PDIA4) is implicated in the growth and death of tumor cells; however, its molecular mechanism and therapeutic potential in cancer are unclear. Here, we found that PDIA4 ...

A team of scientists from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, has recently demonstrated that chemical agents capable of reducing disulfide (S-S) bonds can be potentially used as antiviral drugs ...

Imagine a world where rooms are lit by their walls, clothes are smartphones and windows turn into video screens. That may seem like a bit of science fiction, but not for long. Researchers at MIT are ...

Recently, a research team led by Prof. ZHAO Guoping from High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a mechanism by which ...

As global demand for green hydrogen surges, a new mini-review published in ENGINEERING Energy (formerly Frontiers in Energy) provides a definitive roadmap for using molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) as a ...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), uses its spike (S) glycoprotein to enter host cells. The S glycoprotein consists of ...

Northwestern University scientists have created fully printed artificial neurons that successfully exchanged electrical ...
