In an effort to improve food safety and reduce the risk of eating spoiled meat, Concordia researchers have designed a new technology that identifies the presence of the toxin putrescine in beef.

A new biotech startup has hatched from the University of Washington’s Institute for Protein Design with $6 million in funding and a leadership team fresh from Neoleukin Therapeutics, another IPD ...

Before a malignant tumor is developed, the immune system tries to fight against proteins that are altered during their formation, producing certain cancer antibodies. A biosensor developed by ...

Scientists have created a new way to detect the proteins that make up the pandemic coronavirus, as well as antibodies against it. They designed protein-based biosensors that glow when mixed with ...

The sensor uses a DNA origami scaffold, which consists of two arms connected by a molecular “hinge.” Each arm is tagged with a fluorescent dye, and the distance between the tags is recorded by means ...
