Dendrimers produce artificial antibodies
from the molds-from-molecules dept.
RobertBradbury writes "Science Daily provides a nice summary of work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in which a team of chemists have developed a process using dendrimers to produce artificial antibodies."
"Now if we can just get a design for a molecular sorting rotor to attach them to we would have one of the key components that one needs to build nanorobots like respirocytes."

Friday I nerded it up with Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons and Dragons Online, and when I was done SEVERELY geeking it up, I followed it by some comic reading and light masturbation.

I only pocketed 6 to 7 pairs ok? Nothing…
