Acta Journals’ Outstanding Reviewers in 2017

The Acta Journals are delighted to announce the recipients of the 2018 Outstanding Reviewer awards for excellence in reviewing in 2017.

Remote-controlled DNA nanodevice on when needed

New sensing strategy enables biological targets to be tracked and imaged in vitro and in vivo with high spatial and temporal accuracy.

Glucose monitoring no sweat for new biosensors

New soft, smart glucose detectors can by monitor glucose levels directly and in real-time in tears and sweat.

Cell-like nanomaterials can respond to biochemical signals

Scientists have developed nanomaterials that can self-assemble, reconfigure and disassemble in response to biochemical signals.

Biomimetic outperforms nature

A synthetic foldamer that mimics DNA binds to proteins better than DNA.

Proteins with medical potential

Proteins could target specific cells with natural enzymes and drugs to treat disease.
