Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have developed a lipid nanoparticle that delivers mRNA to cells five times more effectively. By attaching a sulfur-containing ring structure—a cyclic ...

Beneath the microscope, tungsten disulfide transforms from a dull gray powder into a landscape of geometric perfection — atom ...

Garlic, as your grandmother may have told you, repels mosquitoes; it also completely blocks them from mating and laying eggs.

Magnetic micropillar arrays consist of tiny, vertical pin-shaped structures, arranged in a grid-like pattern. These micropillars can change their shape to a pre-programmed geometry when exposed to a ...

A team of scientists from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, has recently demonstrated that chemical agents capable of reducing disulfide (S-S) bonds can be potentially used as antiviral drugs ...

In Gram-negative bacteria, three-component multidrug efflux systems have an important role in the transport of noxious substances such as dyes, detergents, bile salts and diverse antibiotics out of ...

NADPH is mainly supplied from glucose, so cutting off the glucose supply can lead to an accumulation of disulfide molecules and cell death. The precise mechanism behind this process was not previously ...
