Monitoring the penetration process of single microneedles with varying tip diameters
Microneedles represent promising tools for delivery of drugs to the skin. However, before these microneedles can be used in clinical practice, it is essential to understand the process of skin penetration by these microneedles.

Miraculous mechanism allows plant cells to directionally distribute the growth hormone auxin
Leiden and Austrian researchers have succeeded in further uncovering how a plant cell passes on the growth hormone auxin in a directional manner to the next cell. Three proteins that cling together in a bunch appear to be essential for this important transport process. ‘This discovery solves a crucial…

Placebo research: Pain and itch
The major aim is to determine the role of expectancy mechanisms (e.g., verbal suggestion, classical conditioning, and imagery) in placebo and nocebo effects on different psychical sensations (e.g., pain, itch, and fatigue) and how these expectancy mechanisms can be used to optimize health.

Knowledge of DNA repair in the fight against tumour cells
What is the most effective way to eliminate tumour cells? The DNA repair mechanism could play an important role in increasing the effectiveness of chemotherapy in the fight against cancerous cells. If we are to influence this mechanism, we need fundamental knowledge about how the mechanism works.
