Scientists have shown that a notorious hospital fungus has learned to survive on human skin by feeding on carbon dioxide released at the surface. That metabolic edge helps it persist where infections ...

In biocementation, the overall degree of cementation achieved is constrained by the successful completion of four individual, potentially rate-limiting steps: (i) adsorption of the biocatalyst urease ...

For Carbios, a French biotech firm, one man's trash is another man's classic white T-shirt. Working with clothing manufacturers like Patagonia, Puma, and Salomon, the company developed recycling ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, helping them find the best enzyme and substrate combination for applications ...

Enzymes are proteins that guide (catalyze) very specific chemical reactions. They play indispensable roles in all life forms. Some enzymes carry out the day-to-day business of biology like digesting ...

Smart nanogels powered by enzymes move through dense tissue by adapting to local conditions, offering a safer and more effective alternative for targeted delivery in complex environments. (Nanowerk ...

Dr. Veronika Magdanz (left) and researcher Afarin Khabbazian use a robotic arm, miniature robots and 3D-printed models of the human urinary tract to develop new technology to dissolve kidney stones.

A team of researchers has developed a new biosensor that turns the invisible signals into visible color changes to detect urea levels in a simple way. The sensor works by combining gold nanoparticles ...
