Exposure to enzymes causes peculiar response in liquid droplets formed by DNA; new study explains mechanisms behind it. “A watched pot never boils,” as the…
Heparin, a common anitcoagulent, could also form basis of a viral trap for SARS-CoV-2. In a test of antiviral effectiveness against the virus that causes…
Hollow, flea-sized blocks can be filled with materials that improve healing. Tiny, 3D-printed bricks have been designed to heal broken bones — and could one…
Team’s inspiration comes from nature — the pitcher plant, with its liquid membrane that traps insects. Detection and analysis of airborne coronavirus droplets using a…
Clinical-grade wearable streams symptom data to physicians. Stamp-sized device comprises a suite of clinical-grade sensors, including temperature and pulse oximetry Device sits at the base…
Handheld platform technology uses single sample to test for a variety of contaminants. New platform uses cell-free synthetic biology to test for 17 contaminants, including…
In lab tests, virus-like DNA structures coated with viral proteins provoke a strong immune response in human B cells. By folding DNA into a virus-like…
Computational modeling yields a protein fragment that could bind to coronavirus spike proteins and destroy them. The research described in this article has been published…
Engineered living materials (ELMs) is a new class of materials that exploit the properties of living organisms While various techniques such as 3D printers have…
Universitat Rovira i Virgili researchers have developed a nanometric-scale theoretical model to create structures that kill bacteria by using elastic forces. The results of this…
Biological tissues have evolved over millennia to be perfectly optimized for their specific functions. Take cartilage as an example. It’s a compliant, elastic tissue that’s…
Using skin cells from human volunteers, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have created fully functional mini livers, which they then transplanted…
Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics and collaborators have discovered that terahertz radiation, contradicting conventional belief, can disrupt proteins in living cells without…
Two University of Cincinnati students have developed an interactive dashboard that shows COVID-19 cases and deaths in Greater Cincinnati and other major U.S. cities. Known…
Researchers have succeeded in detecting anti-avian influenza virus antibody in blood serum within 20 minutes, using a portable analyzer they have developed to conduct rapid…
Roboticists at the University of California San Diego have developed an affordable, easy to use system to track the location of flexible surgical robots inside…
Researchers develop a new way to create 3D scaffolds for biomedical applications. In the movie “Transformers,” cars morph into robots, jets or a variety of…
