Immune Cell Communication, Cooperation Keys to Hunting Viruses, Jefferson Immunologists Show
Immunologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have used nanotechnology to create a novel 'biosensor' to solve in part a perplexing problem in immunology: how immune system cells called killer T-cells hunt down invading viruses. view more (2006-10-27)
Smell of success for nanobiosensors
Modern-day doctors may soon start using smell to detect the early warning signs of different illnesses thanks to technology that replicates-and improves upon-the human olfactory system thanks to tiny bioelectronic sensors. view more (2006-05-15)
Pittsburgh-based team engineers muscle, bone cell differentiation with aid of ink-jet printer
A Pittsburgh-based research team has created and used an innovative ink-jet system to print "bio-ink" patterns that direct muscle-derived stem cells from adult mice to differentiate into both muscle cells and bone cells. view more (2006-12-11)
Biosensor sniffs out explosives
Temple University School of Medicine researchers have developed a new biosensor that sniffs out explosives and could one day be used to detect landmines and deadly agents, such as sarin gas, according to a paper in the June issue of Nature Chemical Biology. view more (2007-05-09)
European Water Directive: Optical sensors detect minute amounts of pollutants
Minute amounts of organic pollutants-including oestrone-can now be detected in river water as a result of a new optical sensing instrument realised in a project funded by the EU's Environment Programme. view more (2004-09-01)
HYPER-CEST MRI Breaks New Ground in Molecular Imaging
Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California at Berkeley have developed a new technique for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that allows detection of signals from molecules present at 10,000 times lower concentrations than conventional MRI techniques. view more (2006-10-23)

University of Idaho researchers are crossing academic and geographical bounds to develop more effective defenses against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and other deadly pathogens. view more (2007-11-09)
A new portable biosensor detects traces of contaminants in food more quickly and cheaply
Scientists at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB), in cooperation with the CSIC, have developed a new electro-chemical biosensor which detects the presence, in food, of very small amounts of atrazine -one of the most widely used herbicides in agriculture and which also has very long lasting effects on the environment- as well as... view more...

New field-deployable biosensor detects avian influenza virus in minutes instead of days
Quick identification of avian influenza infection in poultry is critical to controlling outbreaks, but current detection methods can require several days to produce results. view more (2007-09-28)
Hopkins researchers develop new tool to watch real-time chemical activity in cells
Attempts to identify potential drugs that interfere with the action of one particular enzyme linked to heart disease and similar health problems led scientists at Johns Hopkins to create a new tool and new experimental approach that allow them to see multiple, real-time chemical reactions in living cells. view more (2006-07-24)
Handheld DNA detector
A researcher at the National University at San Diego has taken a mathematical approach to a biological problem - how to design a portable DNA detector. view more (2008-03-11)
Magnet Lab researchers make observing cell functions easier
Now that the genome (DNA) of humans and many other organisms have been sequenced, biologists are turning their attention to discovering how the many thousands of structural and control genes -- the "worker bees" of living cells that can turn genes on and off -- function. view more (2008-05-09)
Plastic-Protein Hybrid Materials
Enzymatic films for bioactive surfaces We encounter them every day in laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, or shower gel: surfactants - surface-active substances. Surfactants belong to a category of molecules called amphiphiles, molecular hermaphrodites consisting of a water-loving (hydrophilic) "head" and a water-hating (hydrophobic) "tail".... view more...

Medicine and Biology at the Institute of Physics Congress Brighton Conference Centre, 27-30 March
In-Vitro Bio-Medical Sensing Monday 27 March 2000 Bodily fluids can be screened for the presence of infections by a range of tests using relatively simple technology. X-rays can analyse molecular structures and may be used to distinguish between healthy, benign and malignant breast tissue. In other areas of research, microtechnology is playing an... view more...
