Dividing walls: How immune cells enter tissue

Researchers at ISTA discover a crucial process that enables immune cells to get to where they are needed. Study published in Science. Imagine a stone wall in the countryside. Tightly…

Machine-learning model can distinguish antibody targets

A new study shows that it is possible to use the genetic sequences of a person’s antibodies to predict what pathogens those antibodies will target. Reported in the journal Immunity,…

Atomic Terahertz-vibrations

… solve the enigma of ultrashort soliton molecules. Stable packets of light waves – called optical solitons – are emitted in ultrashort-pulse lasers as a chain of light flashes. These…

Microdrones with light-driven nanomotors

A hand-held laser pointer produces no noticeable recoil forces when it is “fired” – even though it emits a directed stream of light particles. The reason for this is its…
