Researchers show how the genetic material travels from cell to cell

The genetic material of plants, animals, and humans is well protected in the nucleus of each cell and stores all the information that forms an organism. For example, information about the size or color of flowers, hair or fur is predefined here.

Altered sugar composition impacts cell-to-surface adhesion

Biotechnologists measure the forces with which algae cells adhere to surfaces and move on them. How can cells adhere to surfaces and move on them? This is a question that was investigated by an international team of researchers headed by Prof. Michael Hippler from the University of Münster and Prof. Kaiyao Huang from the Institute of Hydrobiology (Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, China).

Within A Hair's Breadth--Forensic Identification Of Single Dyed Hair Strand Now Possible

In crime scene investigations, a single strand of hair can make a huge difference in the evolution of a case or trial.

10 Dec 2020

Researchers use novel technique to visualize unlabelled live cells

Scientists from the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign have designed a new method that uses a combination of artificial intelligence and label-free imaging to observe unlabeled live cells across an extended time.
