Scientists have developed a molecular sensor to measure 'crowding' in cells, which reflects the concentration of macromolecules present. The sensor provides quantitative information on the ...

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 29 September 2021 - A research team led by scientists at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has developed a novel cell sensor with a barcode-like micro-channel ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists are researching how shifts in zinc’s location could be exploited for early diagnosis of prostate cancer. Zinc, an essential nutrient, is found in every tissue in the body. The vast majority ...

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 ...

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 ...

Tagging nonfluorescent molecules in live biological cells with fluorescent proteins has allowed researchers to visualize the hustle and bustle taking place in these membrane-bound metropolises and was ...

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 ...
