Live cells 'printed' using standard inkjet printer Posted: 16 Mar 2012 08:26 AM PDT Researchers have found a way to create temporary holes in the membranes of live cells using a standard inkjet printer. Creating temporary pores allow researchers to put molecules inside of cells that wouldn't otherwise fit, and study how the cells react. |
Nano rescues skin: Shrimp shell nanotech for wound healing and anti-aging face cream Posted: 16 Mar 2012 06:44 AM PDT Nanoparticles containing chitosan have been shown to have effective antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Escherichia coli. The materials could be used as a protective wound-healing material to avoid opportunistic infection as well as working to facilitate wound healing. |
Deprived of sex, jilted flies drink more alcohol Posted: 15 Mar 2012 11:50 AM PDT Scientists have discovered that a tiny molecule in the fly's brain called neuropeptide F governs this behavior—as the levels of the molecule change in their brains, the flies' behavior changes as well. |
