Materials Science

Brushing oil away

11 December 2019

A thin film of water forms over surfaces coated with charged polymers, resulting in super-repellent materials with self-cleaning properties.

Cancer Biology

Sweet serendipity unveils anticancer strategy

29 November 2019

A better understanding of the way sugar units are attached to the surface proteins of cancer cells may help to improve targeted cancer treatments, A*STAR scientists say.

Immunology

The rediscovered origin of an immune cell subtype

29 November 2019

By mapping the development trajectory of immune precursor cells, A*STAR scientists showed that plasmacytoid dendritic cells were incorrectly classified in the immune ‘family tree.’

Bioinformatics

How the flu virus hops from one host to another

29 November 2019

A*STAR researchers have identified specific sites in the surface protein of influenza viruses that allow the pathogen to adapt to different host organisms.

Cancer Biology

A stabilizing strategy to keep cancer cells in check

29 November 2019

Bortezomib, a drug that inhibits the ‘waste disposal system’ in animal cells, could be used to suppress cell division in cancer.

Microbiology

Solving the puzzle of human gut microbiomes

7 November 2019

A*STAR scientists have devised an algorithm for accurately assembling genomes, paving the way for in-depth analysis of microbial communities in the human gut.

Nanotechnology

Precise and printable silicon nanoparticles

7 November 2019

Silicon nanoparticles dispersed in solution can be positioned by light and printed onto surfaces, or used in applications such as medical imaging and drug delivery.

Drug Manufacturing

Getting drug molecules to fall in line

7 November 2019

By controlling the crystallization of pharmaceutical compounds using template surfaces, high quality drugs may be manufactured more cheaply and easily.

Transcriptomics

How promoters predict patient outcomes

7 November 2019

A*STAR researchers demonstrate how the expression of genes from alternative gene promoters is associated with lower cancer survival in patients.

Immunology

How to maim a virus without killing it

7 November 2019

Targeted mutagenesis is being used to create live-attenuated vaccines against the chikungunya virus.

Robotics

Giving robots the human touch

25 October 2019

Researchers at A*STAR have designed a hybrid machine learning model to enhance touch capabilities in robots.

Simulation

Lowering the cost of louver simulations

25 October 2019

Simulating building-cooling louvers need not be computationally expensive, say A*STAR researchers.

Statistics

The P value is dead, long live the estimation plot

25 October 2019

Estimation plots provide researchers with a more complete picture of the significance of their results than traditional P values, say A*STAR scientists.
