This paper describes automation of planar lipid bilayer formation by introducing a stepping motor to a microfluidic device. Planar lipid bilayers or lipid vesicles are useful to understand biological ...

Molecular vibrations, when paired with near-infrared (NIR) light, have opened a new chapter in cancer treatment. Instead of ...

Osteoarthritis is the most common arthropathy in western civilization. It is primarily caused by the degeneration of lipid-coated cartilage, leading to increased friction in joints. Hyaluronic acid ...

Lipids are fatty, waxy, or oily compounds that serve as the building blocks of all living cells. Three main types of lipids (phospholipids, triglycerides, and sterols like cholesterol) are essential ...

Antibody–siRNA conjugates (ARCs) are a type of promising drug modalities for cancer therapy. However, initial reports of ARCs present the gene knockdown effect only in limited tissues (e.g., muscles) ...

Micrometeorites raining down from space may have provided the perfect surfaces for the first primitive cells to form on Earth ...
