Using optogenetics, researchers have detected a new acid sensor in plant cells that is addressing a cell-internal calcium store. When plants are infected by pathogens, suffer from a lack of water or ...

Adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) has been identified as a regulator of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) activation in response to nucleic acids, according to a recent study. ADA2, previously known for its role ...

In A Nutshell Living detectors: Researchers modified E. coli bacteria to light up when they sense acetic acid, the chemical ...

A bacterial biosensor created by researchers from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Rehovot, Israel) lights up in the ...

Sucrose monolaurate, when added as a stabilizer to the electrode, formed protective hexagonal and laminar nanostructures around lactate oxidase, shielding it from sweat and maintaining enzyme activity ...

Scientists at the University of Bath, (UK), working in collaboration with industrial partner, Integrated Graphene, have created a new type of chemosensor (demonstrated for lactic acid sensing) which ...

Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7), a severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus's nucleic acid sensor, was discovered to be aberrantly expressed in many types of cancers. However, its expression ...
