UNC Researchers create artificial cells that act like living cells
UNC-Chapel Hill researchers create artificial cells that act like living cells Chapel Hill, NC Carleigh Gabryel In a new study published in Nature Chemistry, Carolina researcher Ronit Freeman and her colleagues describe the steps they took to manipulate DNA and proteins — essential building blocks of life — to create cells that look and act like cells from the… Continue reading UNC Researchers create artificial cells that act like living cells
Dr. Freeman to Speak at Annual Triangle Cytoskeleton Meeting
Dr. Freeman to Speak at Annual Triangle Cytoskeleton Meeting Raleigh, NC Cytoskeleton is the protein network that gives cells their shape and it’s a feature of cells that is so integral that a yearly event was created here in the Triangle to solely focus on all things cytoskeleton. Aptly titled The Triangle Cytoskeleton Meeting,… Continue reading Dr. Freeman to Speak at Annual Triangle Cytoskeleton Meeting

Article: A Twist on Traditional Treatment
Imagine a future where the insidious advance of Alzheimer’s could be halted, or even reversed, not by a miraculous new drug, but by a groundbreaking way of delivering treatment right to the heart of the problem. This isn’t the plot of a science fiction novel but the tangible outcome of cutting-edge research by a team… Continue reading Article: A Twist on Traditional Treatment
All That Glitters – Sensors From the Lab to Field
Translating sensors from the lab benchtop to a readily available point-of-need setting is desirable for many fields, including medicine, agriculture, and industry. However, this transition generally suffers from loss of sensitivity, high background signals, and other issues which can impair reproducibility. Here we adapt a label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensor for SARS-CoV-2 antigens from… Continue reading All That Glitters – Sensors From the Lab to Field
