The milli-spinner thrombectomy facilitates fast, complete clot removal by using spinning-induced compression and shear forces to mechanically modify the clot microstructure through densifying the fibrin network and releasing red blood cells, thus reducing clot volume.

When sensing defeat in a match against a skilled chess bot, advanced models sometimes hack their opponent, a study found.

A photoswitchable solvatochromic dye has been synthesized, comprising a Nile Red fluorophore and a spironaphthoxazine photoswitch. Visible light super-resolution RESOLFT microscopy permits ordered an…

Writing about the history and philosophy of progress

Halbers et al. present a useful tool — a way of accurately tracking RNAs that only requires a small addition to a given RNA sequence and leverages modified split luciferase proteins for bioluminescent photon emission, circumventing some drawbacks of fluorescent methods.

Studying RNA dynamics in vivo often relies on fluorogenic approaches, but these can be hampered by factors such as limited sensitivity and sample autofluorescence. Here, the authors describe an ultrasensitive platform for RNA imaging, which features RNA tags that recruit light-emitting luciferase fragments.

PDB 4V60: structure of a protein vault (MVP only) Structure and organization: Wild-type vaults consist of multiple copies of MVP, VPARP, and TEP1 proteins as well as small untranslated RNAs called …
