Investigating impacts of radiotherapy on the body tissue, @AnffSa user & @UniSAFII Prof Benjamin Thierry & his team have developed a 3D model mimicking the structure & function of small blood vessels within a small disposable microfluidic device. https://t.co/HhQjJiLlaR

Gold atoms bind together to form gold “nano-strings” that are ~5 nanometre in size and appear dark blue. The gold continues to clump together, changing the light absorption to look violet (about 10-15 nanometres). Finally, the gold forms 20 nanometre spheres, looking red.
Great interview with @UniSAFII's Dr Marnie Winter demonstrating her tiny microfluidic device which isolates fragile fetal cells from large volumes of blood. A world-first comprehensive pregnancy screening test fabricated by @AnffSa https://t.co/9pZI5abMEW
Yesterday's SA Academic Health Science and Translation Centre (SA Centre) Student Open-Night was a resounding success! A big thank you to everyone who shared their research projects and to the prospective PhD and Honours students in attendance to explore future pathways.
We have recently received our plush intestine with its tiny smiley Appendix 😃.
Everything is almost ready to go for a great science week. #CBNS#science#scienceweek#intestine#unisa
