A research team led by scientists at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has developed a novel cell sensor with a barcode-like micro-channel structure that enables rapid and low-cost screening of drug ...

Individual cells modified to act as sensors using fluorescence are already useful tools in biochemistry, but now they can add good timing to their resume. Individual cells modified to act as sensors ...

Whether for drug screening or toxicity testing, stem cell-based 3D tissue models are key to biomedical research. However, producing cell aggregates in bioreactors is highly complex and cost-intensive.

RNA is a central and universal mediator of genetic information underlying the diversity of cell types and states. The lack of tools for studying and controlling various cell types using RNAs continues ...

The solar cell ambient light sensor is attached to a transparent cover layer, a color filter layer, or any other layer of the display. When the accumulated voltage is not being sampled for ambient ...

Biological sensors are crucial to survival. Like eyes and ears, they help us process the world and protect us from danger. On a smaller scale, biological sensors such as nerves send signals to the ...

A fluorescent biosensor is the first to quantify the ionic strength inside living cells (ACS Chem. Biol. 2017, DOI: 10.1021/acschembio.7b00348). The sensor could enable cell biologists to follow ...

A new type of electronic sensor that might be used to quickly detect and classify bacteria for medical diagnostics and food safety has passed a key hurdle by distinguishing between dead and living ...
