The Cell Phone: A History The cell phone is one of the most revolutionary inventions of the modern era. Since the first commercially available cell phone was released in 1983, the device has changed the way we communicate and stay connected. From the first brick-sized mobile phones to today's sleek, pocket-sized versions, the cell phone has gone through numerous iterations over the past three decades. In this article, we take a look back at the history of the cell phone and the various milestones that have defined its evolution.
How membranes may have brought about the chemistry of life on Earth
How life arose remains a looming question in science that researchers are seeking to answer by studying the features shared among life today. Everything alive is made up of cells, and what made the first cells different from chemical reactions occurring in the environment is a membrane.
Meat-rich diets and a single gene variant may have contributed to the physiological evolution of modern humans
Two of the traits that set modern humans apart from non-human primates are taller stature and a higher basal metabolic rate. Publishing in Cell Genomics, researchers have identified a genetic variant that contributed to the co-evolution of these traits. This mutation seems to help people grow taller—especially when they consume a lot of meat.
Chimeric viral platform enables directed evolution of proteins for better therapies
Researchers from the Centenary Institute, in collaboration with the University of Sydney, have developed a powerful new tool to evolve proteins directly within mammalian cells, offering a more effective way to design medical treatments tailored to the human body.
How We Built a Robot and an Algorithm to Tame Membrane Proteins | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Membrane proteins are vital drug targets but notoriously hard to make. We developed a high-throughput, cell-free platform, MEMPLEX, to synthesize them directly into lipid bilayers, skipping purification entirely. Here’s the story behind the platform and the robot that made it possible.
Designing a drug to target metals in cells | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Intelligent drug design is challenging, but mechanistic clues can greatly help in this process. Metformin forms bimolecular complexes with Cu(II) and we designed a molecule linking two metformin moieties together with a linker to create a much more potent drug in a study now published in Nature.
Non-permanent wireless forehead e-tattoo measures mental strain
Researchers gave participants face tattoos that can track when their brain is working too hard. Published May 29 in the Cell Press journal Device, the study introduces a non-permanent wireless forehead e-tattoo that decodes brainwaves to measure mental strain without bulky headgear.
