Metagenomics - the study of genetic material from an environmental sample - is growing as species evolve or are discovered across the globe. To correlate the newly developed microbiomes with existing data sets, a team of researchers based in China has developed the Microbiome Search Engine 2...more |

A new algorithm may reduce the need for expensive, time-consuming whole-genome sequencing computations to understand how a microbiome functions. A team led by JING Gongchao of the Qingdao Institute of BioEnergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and SU Xiao...more |

Cancer cells are smart when it comes to anti-cancer drugs, evolving and becoming resistant to even the strongest chemotherapies over time. To combat this evasive behavior, researchers have developed a method named D2O-probed CANcer Susceptibility Test Ramanometry (D2O-CANST-R; Fig. 1) to see...more |

Intelligent hydrogels with multifunction such as sustained drug release abilities with low burst release, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility are highly desirable in biomaterials fields, particularly for the cellulose-based drug carriers.
"Despite the nanocellulose-based hydro...more |
