Research Highlights
Proteins under pressure reveal all
A method to determine the performance of proteins used in medicinal tablets could have major benefits for the drug industry.
Deep thinking about the origins of life
Life on Earth probably began in the depths of the ocean and not on the planet's surface, claim European scientists.
Heartening results from biosensors
A biosensor that stimulates single heart cells to beat could help scientists to understand the cause of cell death during heart attacks.
A method to probe the individual steps in bacterial cell wall synthesis should advance the search for more effective antibiotics.
Helical molecules that bind to bulges in RNA could lead to anti-HIV drugs.
'Magic bullets' to target bone disease
Phosphorus compounds that deliver proteins directly to bones could be used to combat skeletal disease.
Life blood: substituting cells
Blood substitutes can save the lives of people unable to receive transfusions for medical or ethical reasons.
Microfluidic techniques will lead to high-throughput protein profiling within a decade, suggest scientists.
