Mechanism Encourages the Self-killing of Cancer Cells
A research team has developed helical polypeptide potassium ionophores that lead to the onset of programmed cell death. The mechanism induces the "self-killing" of cancerous cells by perturbing ion homeostasis.

Electronic Skin Could Bring Pain to Prosthetics
Prosthetic technology has taken huge strides in the last decade, but accurately simulating human-like sensation is a difficult task. New “electronic skin” technology could help replicate advanced “pain” sensations in prosthetics, and enable robots to understand tactile feedback, like the feeling of being pricked, or that of heat on skin.
