Measuring the stiffness of soft culture surfaces & 3D hydrogels using AFM
LCN researchers at King’s College have devised a new method to measure the stiffness of soft culture surfaces & 3D hydrogels using atomic force microscopy (AFM) force spectroscopy carrying out much of the work at the LCN in Bloomsbury. The research...
Enhancing treatment options of triple-negative breast cancer
New research trials the use of image-guided co-drug delivery to target difficult tumour types. Approximately 15-20% of breast cancer cases are described as triple-negative, meaning they do not have receptors for the hormones estrogen or progesterone, and do not...
Taking Maxwell’s equations for a spin
John Clerk Maxwell developed his famous Maxwell Equations whilst working at King’s College London in the late 19th Century. The Maxwell Equations are four equations which link the fundamental behaviour of electric and magnetic fields. Electromagnetic fields and waves,...
