Tissue-integrated sensitive glucose nanosenor uses inactive glucose oxidase enzyme for continuous monitoring
Monitoring glucose levels is one of the key elements in health monitoring. A research team from the University of California, Berkeley, has now developed a battery-independent fluorescent nanosensor based on single-wall carbon nanotubes and an inacti.....»»
A new deep-learning-based analysis toolkit for spatial transcriptomics
Biology and medical researchers use spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies to detect transcription levels in cells, predict cell types and build a tissue's three-dimensional (3D) structure. However, this analysis can be difficult when there are mu.....»»
Powerful earthquakes leave at least 48 dead, destroy buildings along Japan"s western coast
A series of powerful earthquakes that hit western Japan have left at least 48 people dead and damaged thousands of buildings, vehicles and boats. Officials warned that more quakes could lie ahead......»»
Development of tissue molecular imaging technique using multiple probes at hundreds of microns
Researchers have shown it is possible to image small animal tissue clearly to several hundred micrometers using multi-probe imaging, reports a recent study in Scientific Reports......»»
How jellyfish regenerate functional tentacles in days
At about the size of a pinkie nail, the jellyfish species Cladonema can regenerate an amputated tentacle in two to three days—but how? Regenerating functional tissue across species, including salamanders and insects, relies on the ability to form a.....»»

Examining the relationship between the rate of wound healing, the circadian rhythm and cilium length
Nearly every organism on Earth follows a natural circadian rhythm that is coded by your cell's clock genes, which do exactly as you suspect from the name: regulate your body's rhythm on a 24-hour basis......»»
Sustainable, more efficient synthesis route of hyaluronic acid polymers for biomedical applications
Hydrogels—polymer networks with high water content—can act as a tissue mimic, providing conditions for a viable culture of embedded cells, with various applications in biomedical engineering such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicine......»»
Characterizing the role of oxidized tryptophan residues in repairing damaged photosystem II protein
Photosynthesis refers to the fundamental biological process of the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by chlorophyll (a green pigment) containing plants. This seemingly routine process in plants sustains all the biological life and activ.....»»
Paleontologist discovers rare soft tissue in fossil of crab
Most animals and plants never fossilize. For those that do, it's usually only hard parts such as bones and shells that preserve. However, in some exceptional cases, soft tissues such as muscles and gills survive the fossilization process and can pres.....»»
New method tags cells with location coordinates for single-cell studies
When a scientist wants to study individual cells at the molecular level within an organ like the heart or brain, they usually break the tissue up to analyze the cells. This provides rich detail about gene activity, but doesn't retain information abou.....»»
New chemical method advances toward targeted RNA medicine
Targeted drugs aim to pinpoint the exact location in the body where diseased tissue is located and where the medicine is required. The manifold benefits of administering a targeted drug include heightened efficacy, as the drug is meticulously designe.....»»
New wheat yield analysis method separates disease impact from natural senescence
The yield of wheat crops is influenced by sink strength (grain number and nutrient absorption capacity) and source capacity (photosynthetic tissue efficiency). While sink limitations are widely reported, source limitations due to diseases like septor.....»»
NASA"s EMIT instrument maps global airborne mineral dust
NASA'S EMIT mission, placed on the International Space Station to learn how dust storms on Earth warm or cool the planet, has created the first complete maps of the world's dust source regions, providing precise locations of 10 key minerals based on.....»»
Fla. service customer lawsuit alleges shoddy repairs, tow damage
A service customer sued a Florida Mercedes-Benz dealership alleging his car was not properly repaired despite multiple efforts and was damaged after being towed to the store under the manufacturer's roadside assistance program. Reginald Powell filed.....»»
Novel mineral piezocatalysts offer innovative approaches for soil remediation
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) removal in the soil environment is of great significance for repairing the long-term damaged ecosystem. However, the poor mass transfer process and low catalytic activity in most conventional methods lead to li.....»»
Counteracting bone and muscle loss in microgravity
In microgravity, without the continuous load of Earth's gravity, the tissues that make up bones reshape themselves. Bone cells readjust their behaviors—the cells that build new bone slow down, while the cells that break down old or damaged bone tis.....»»
Two methods for demonstrating how photolyase isolates use light to repair damaged DNA
Two teams of bio-researchers have developed similar processes for demonstrating how photolyase isolates use light to repair damaged DNA. In their papers, both published in the journal Science, the two groups outline their stop-motion-animation-type p.....»»
