Naïve Human Stem Cells to Promote Research in Regenerative Medicine and Human Development

Discovery of a method for maintaining human induced pluripotent stem cells in their earliest, most primitive, naïve state is expected to promote research into their use in regenerative medicine, patient-specific iPS cell disease modeling, and the study of early human development in vitro and in vivo.  More...

Image: Antibody-inspired “molecular Velcro” could lead to a new class of biosensors. Researchers took cues from the architecture of a natural antibody (left) in designing a new material that resembles tiny sheets of Velcro (right) (Photo courtesy of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory).

Highly Stable Peptoid Nanosheets May Replace Antibodies in Biosensors

Ultra-thin peptoid "nanosheets" constructed from synthetic, peptide-like molecules are able to bind a wide variety of analytes with high specificity and high affinity, which makes them ideal candidates for use as molecular recognition elements for chemical and biological sensors.   More...
