Virus transmission: new animation video gives insightHow can an Influenza virus transfer from animal to human, while the molecules on which they ‘land’ at the cell surface, are different? For finding this out, researchers of the University of Twente developed a sensor chip that mimicks the cell surface and has an increasing number of binding sites along the way. The virus ‘rolls’ across the surface until the binding is strong enough. For visualizing and better understanding of the mechanisms involved, the researchers created an animation video, together with Dutch veterinary lab Royal GD.Read more
Plastic membranes to make drinking water – and more‘Plastic is known to pollute our oceans and water, but in in this case it is used to clean water. I think that’s great!’ says Wiebe de Vos. Together with his colleagues Saskia Lindhoud and Ameya Krishna, the UT membrane scientist developed a sustainable and easy way to produce a membrane based on a novel plastic. It’s use is versatile, and making drinking water is just one of the many possible options.Read more
