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.
A fresh look at the heart
The FRESH-technique for 3D printing heart models could be a game changer for budding surgeons.
Leveraging the lung’s biogenesis to repair the heart
Stem cells found in the lungs can be redirected to the heart using a new inhaled antibody therapy to help boost healing following a heart attack.
Low-cost, portable, and rapidly deployable ventilators
The procurement and maintenance of high‐end ventilators limits their use in emergency situations. By removing the “frills”, researchers create a viable alternative.
Biomaterials researchers should include sex-based differences
In a survey of biomaterials articles that included cell culture experiments, only 3.7% of studies reported the sex of the cells.
Creating better diagnostic tools with light scattering nanoparticles
Recent advanced in nanoparticle-based SERS imaging has led to better diagnoses of diseases like cancer, and improvements in image-guided tumor surgeries.
