A tiny microfluidic device can improve cell therapy techniques for spinal cord injury patients. The device can remove a large percentage of stem cells that have not yet fully become spinal cord cells, which could potentially form tumors after being transplanted into a patient.
Researchers discovered a stress signaling system that enables bacteria to adapt and protect themselves against the immune system and certain antibiotics. The discovery of RlmN as a stress sensor reveals a new mechanism of antimicrobial resistance that can be targeted for drug development.
Researchers developed a combination therapy using the anticancer agent mitoxantrone (MTX), together with an antibiotic, vancomycin, for treating vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis or VRE.

Researchers developed the first nanosensor that can detect and distinguish gibberellins, a class of hormones in plants that are important for growth. The carbon nanotube sensors could have many applications for agriculture and plant biotechnology.
