Researchers from several Parisian institutions have worked together to develop a non-destructive approach to study how unicellular organisms respond to stress, focusing on cell-to-cell differences.
Scientists at Stanford have discovered that single-celled Arctic algae can actively move at temperatures as low as –15 degree Celsius (5 °F), the coldest motion ever recorded in a eukaryotic cell. The ...
Tiny algae-based robots guided by magnets could improve bladder cancer treatment by boosting delivery of chemotherapy drugs ...
In mouse tests, magnet-guided algae microbots helped chemotherapy penetrate bladder tumours more deeply, cutting tumour ...
