Spatial Patterning: Self-organizing human cardiac microchambers mediated by geometric confinement

Human induced pluripotent stem cells can be pushed toward different fates (pink versus blue) depending on their positions within a confined space.

A naturally monomeric infrared fluorescent protein for protein labeling in vivo

Infrared fluorescent proteins (IFPs) provide an additional color to GFP and its homologs in protein labeling.

A new method for growing human brain cells could unlock the mysteries of dementia, mental illness, and other neurological disorders.

A gut-brain neural circuit for nutrient sensory transduction

September 20, 2018

The brain is thought to sense gut stimuli only via the passive release of hormones. This is because no connection has been described between the vagus and the putative gut epithelial sensor...

Cellular checkpoint control using programmable sequential logic

September 20, 2018

Biological processes that require orderly progression, such as growth and differentiation, proceed via regulatory checkpoints where the cell waits for signals before continuing to the next state....

Challenges for commercializing perovskite solar cells

September 20, 2018

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have witnessed rapidly rising power conversion efficiencies, together with advances in stability and upscaling. Despite these advances, their limited stability and need...
