Warmer temperatures lessen COVID-19 spread, but control measures still needed
Study shows that temperature changes have a smaller effect on transmission than policy interventions like lockdowns and social distancing.
A smart microneedle patch to monitor and manage diabetes
Minimally invasive smart patches can continuously monitor glucose blood levels and administer insulin as needed.
Delaying second dose of COVID-19 vaccine has benefits in the short term, but depends on immunity
The strength of immune responses after the first dose of COVID-19 vaccines could make or break this strategy and policy makers need to be able to adapt.
Big lessons from tiny flies
The flies may be tiny, but they can teach us the greatest of lessons in cancer biology and beyond.
Vaccination by inhalation
Delivering vaccines directly to the lungs can boost immune responses to respiratory infections or lung cancer, study finds.
“Evolution‐on‐a‐chip” device helps reveal mutations that lead to superbugs
A well-based microfluidic device allows researchers to generate important data that are needed to better understand the parameters that influence evolution in bacteria to combat antibiotic resistance.
Multicellular liver-on-a-chip for modeling fatty liver disease
A structurally representative liver-on-a-chip models the full progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which researchers hope will lead to better treatments.
Are nanoscale sensors the future for sepsis diagnosis?
Recent advances in micro- and nanoscale sensing technologies may help diagnose sepsis early and with greater accuracy.
How do you sample blood in a non-invasive way?
Graphene-based biosensors incorporated in arrays of microneedles are emerging as an alternative to hypodermic needles and could be the next generation of blood sampling devices.
