Tissues behave like giant cells
During our every day life, many of our tissues are subjected to large deformations. LCN scientists have now uncovered how stresses are dissipated in living tissues to prevent their rupture. The research, published in Nature Physics, provides us with a better...
Synthetic ‘virus’ to kill bacteria
A synthetic ‘virus’ that kills bacteria on first contact has been developed by LCN and National Physical Laboratory researchers (NPL). The study, published in Nature Communications, shows how newly designed proteins can be used to build tiny hollow shells that emulate...
