Emergent living machines Taher Saif , Professor, Mechanical Science and Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Industrial revolution of the 19th century marked the onset of the era of machines that transformed societies. However, these machines cannot self assemble or heal themselves. On the other hand, since the discovery of genes, there is a considerable ... Read more
Drugging the undruggable: towards the development of selective modulators of cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion Emilio Parisi, Italian Institute of Technology (Milano) and Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis (Riga) Cadherins are transmembrane calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins that mediate cellular adherens junction formation and tissue morphogenesis. Loss of cadherin-mediated adhesion has been implicated in many different steps of ... Read more
