Many pathogenic bacteria produce outer polysaccharide capsules which play a major role in disease progression. The capsules bestow protection against host immune responses such as opsonisation, phagocytosis and complement mediated lysis. Certain capsules also act to mask the bacterium from the host (...)

Sight is arguably the most important of the five senses. Consequently, eye diseases and eye injuries that lead to visual impairment and blindness can have severe impacts on the lives of the victims. Worldwide, millions of people suffer traumatic eye injury or surgical wounds yearly, and these (...)

Soft core-shell polymeric nanoparticles are an area of great research interest, due to their potential advantages in the sustained and targeted delivery of therapeutic payloads. These systems can offer significant improvements in the temporal and spatial control of drug delivery. In this talk, the (...)

The integration of biology into synthetic systems is an exciting concept and humans have much to learn from how nature appears to seamlessly undertake programmable assembly. Through this process exquisitely engineered structures with both function and hierarchy can be produced. Mimicking, and even (...)

Within a plant cell two conceptual ways of communication between the organelles exist: anterograde signalling, which refers to nucleus-to-organelle signals, and retrograde signalling, which is a feedback from organelles to the nucleus. Currently, not much is known about the messaging molecules (...)

Look beyond disciplinary boundaries and join us at NSC 2016 for (...)

PPR proteins are modular RNA-binding proteins with repeated 35-amino acid sequence motifs that control mitochondrial and plastid gene expression. They are being considered as a potential tool for manipulating gene expression in plants because they can recognize a wide range of different RNA (...)
