How to fold an epithelium
During our everyday life, many of our tissues are subjected to large deformations. LCN scientists have now uncovered how tissues can rapidly adapt their length in response to deformation. The research, published in Nature Materials, provides us with a better...
Quantum nanodiamonds may help detect disease earlier
The quantum sensing abilities of nanodiamonds can be used to improve the sensitivity of paper-based diagnostic tests, potentially allowing for earlier detection of diseases such as HIV, according to a study led by UCL researchers in the i-sense McKendry group....
COVID-19 talks launch LCN joint seminar series
The LCN held its first online joint seminar this earlier this week. The seminar focused on the LCN response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes new approaches to detect and control the virus, assess the virus using data and machine learning, and manufacture...
