Solid or hollow? Particle characteristics determine whether cells are treated or killed
Researchers at Rice University have developed tunable plasmonic bubbles able to selectively destroy individual cells (leaving neighbors unaffected) or inject them with substances such as drugs. View more >> Facebook Linkedin Twitter Forward to Friend 
 
Laser techniques part of $24M European drug discovery project
In efforts to develop more effective, longer lasting medicines, scientists from the University of Nottingham in England are using laser confocal microscopy and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) to study in real time how drug molecules ‘stick’ to proteins on the surface of cells in our body in an effort to learn more about how drugs work. View more >> Facebook Linkedin Twitter Forward to Friend 
 
Blue light prompts protein clustering and, in turn, advances optogenetics
A new study gives researchers new capabilities to control and influence the process of clustering, called oligomerization, and cell signaling. View more >> Facebook Linkedin Twitter Forward to Friend 
 
Optical fiber 'wrench' controls ultra-small cells, DNA
Researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington have created a fiber-optic tool that can precisely twist and turn the tiniest of particles, including living cells and DNA used in biological research. View more >> Facebook Linkedin Twitter Forward to Friend
