A microprotein called adipogenin appears to play a key role in helping fat cells store lipid droplets—a phenomenon that's pivotal for metabolic health, a study co-led by UT Southwestern Medical Center ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and ...

In Alzheimer’s disease, microglia act as a double-edged sword. They can either protect the brain or worsen the damage, depending on their activation state. Inflammatory activation harms healthy ...

A special sensor can accommodate various device sizes while recording accurate notes regarding substance levels such as blood, insulin, and IV fluids. A non-contact level sensor does not come into ...

Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance between a target and the sensor using high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to humans. The process is simple: the sensor emits ultrasonic waves, which ...

The potential of using low-energy light to shape ferroelectric thin films for micro devices is advancing with an international team of researchers most recently reporting success with "photostriction.

Fluorescent proteins can be turned into qubits within cells and could give us a deeper understanding of biology at the nanoscale level. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

What just happened? Researchers at University College London have developed a new type of solar cell capable of efficiently generating power from indoor light, a breakthrough that could reduce ...
