The adhesive proteins secreted by mussels are the inspiration behind a versatile approach to the surface modification of a wide range of inorganic and organic materials, resulting in the ...

All cells rely on cell signaling to detect and respond to cues in their environment. This process not only promotes the proper functioning of individual cells, but it also allows communication and ...

"Our device could change that." The team's device, which is roughly the size of an index card, consists of microfluidic chambers coated with adhesive proteins found in breast tissue, such as ...

The test can be used to better stratify cancer patients and determine the likelihood of breast cancer metastasizing.
