When cells interact with their environment via receptors at their surface, the receptors can bind to hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and toxins which can trigger signaling inside the cell. Now, ...

Follow these guidelines to successfully attach single cells to arrays of cell-adhesion proteins. Single-cell analysis is becoming increasingly important for applications in cancer, stem cell ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Multiplex biological assays allow simultaneous detection of numerous analytes such as proteins and other molecular components in a single sample. Planar array chips consist of a ...

A new technique creates cell-surface-based glycan arrays that are more lifelike than the usual ones assembled by attaching glycans directly to solid supports. Glycans, carbohydrate oligomers, decorate ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN), the world's first bioengineering and nanotechnology research institute, have developed a miniaturized biochip ...

Chemical engineers have built a sensor array that, for the first time, can detect single molecules of hydrogen peroxide emanating from a single living cell. MIT chemical engineers have built a sensor ...
