January 22, 2021 SHARE Engineers at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a microneedle patch that can be applied to the skin, capture a biomarker of interest from interstitial fluid and, thanks to its unprecedented sensitivity, allow clinicians to detect its presence.(Image: Sisi Cao) Blood draws are no fun. They hurt. Veins can burst, or even roll — like they’re trying to avoid the needle, too. Oftentimes, doctors use blood samples to ...

How it did this has remained a myste...

Now, Kazumitsu Ueda of Kyoto Universitys Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) and co...

Protein employs twist‐and‐squeeze mechanism to expel chemotherapeutics from cancer cells In 1986, cellular biochemist Kazumitsu Ueda, currently at Kyoto Universitys Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS), discovered that a protein called ABCB1 could transport multiple chemotherapeutics out of some cancer cells, making them resistant to treatment. How it did this has remained a mystery for the past 35 years. Now, his team has published a review in the journal FEBS Letters, ...
