Enabled by a generous gift from the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust, the BioMaker Lab at the Frederick Seitz Materials Research Lab (MRL) will be the first state-of-the-art interdisciplinary biofabrication hub in the world.

Researchers track the activity of far-reaching ends of retinal neurons, called boutons

Attributes ongoing success to scientific ethos, project management, and innovative research programs.

Researchers have developed a sensing technology that enables the super-sensitive measurement of biomarker concentrations over time.

Caution required - diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy identified that a new automated delivery system, meant to speed the mixing of nanoparticle products for testing in zebrafish, created a synergistic effect that triggered toxicity.

On July 17, 2014, a crowdfunding effort paid over $22,000 to have the floating water fern Azolla filiculoides sequenced. Four years later, the results are in.

Researchers have developed an accurate diagnostic score that consists of inexpensive blood tests to identify patients who require immediate treatment against the deadly hepatitis B virus – which can lead to liver damage or cancer.

Changes in blood markers detected following high-acceleration head impacts, even in athletes without concussion symptoms

Damage to DNA is a daily occurrence but one that human cells have evolved to manage. Now researchers have determined how one DNA repair protein gets to the site of DNA damage. The authors hope this discovery will help identify new therapies for ovarian cancer.

When a nuclear power plant accident occurs, it can be difficult to predict where the emitted radioactivity will settle, making it impossible to prevent the exposure of large numbers of people. Now, a computer program that can predict where emitted radioactive material will eventually land has been unveiled.
