Insights into heart development with 3D bioprinting
3D bioprinted models of developing human hearts reveal critical factors that shape heart development.
New macrocycle antiviral drugs show promise in treating influenza
Creating antiviral drugs to help treat infected patients is more important than ever. Now, researchers report a non-toxic macrocycle antiviral agent that shows high efficacy against several influenza strains.
Using computational models for better thermoregulation in the ICU
Models that can predict and help us to understand the body’s thermal state could help optimize temperature management strategies in a clinical setting.
Magnetic bacteria for drug delivery
Bacteria controlled by magnets could one day deliver medicine directly to the cells that need it.
Tiny brain tissue models grown on microchips
Researchers successfully grow 3D brain tissue on fully-integrated microchips for neural biosensing applications.
Scientists discover role of protein in detecting the common cold virus
Scientists uncover how a sensor protein activates our immune system against the common cold. The findings may lead to more effective treatments of flu-like symptoms.
Grabbing viruses out of thin air
Developments in pathogen-detecting materials could provide an easy means of detecting viruses within public places.
AI detects protein signatures for Alzheimer’s disease in the blood
A sensitive blood test for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease could be possible with nanoparticle arrays.
What causes deep vein thrombosis?
Blood pooling in venous valves is a key risk factor in deep vein thrombosis. A new model is used to better understand how this occurs.
