Cell “Hands” Aid  to Unlock Doors in Drug Design and Bioengineering

The protein, known as syndecan-4, combines with the complementary membrane proteins, known as integrins, to form protruding hands that feel outside the cell's environment.

Both proteins are placed within the cell membrane and are marked inside and outside by one end of the cell. We ...

Biologist develops a new framework for the in vivo study of photosynthesis

A biologist at the RUDN University has developed a model for in vivo photosynthesis research. This approach measures the chlorophyll light absorption coefficient on the basis of its reflectivity. Light absorption analysis is important for evaluating the productivity of the ecosystem, which affect...

Biopesticides

In France, a corporation referred to as Amoeba aims to use Willaertia Magna amoeba to eliminate fungi in crops or Legionella pneumophilia in cooling water towers. Another approach is to style molecules that by selection kill crop infections. The case of Agrosavfe in Belgiq...
