Stem cell memories may drive wound repair, and also chronic disease
A trifling paper cut is a site of frenzied activity. Within it, a squad of epidermal stem cells briskly regenerate to patch up the wound. A closer inspection of this war-torn swath of epidermis will reveal that while some of the stem cells are native.....»»
3D Printer Using Living Ink Made of Microbes Could Print Healing Structures in Space
"The thought of combining a printer (the bane of office workers) with the bacterium E. coli (the scourge of romaine lettuce) may seem an odd, if not unpleasant, collaboration," writes the New York Times. "But scientists have recently melded the vir.....»»
New cell database paints fuller picture of muscle repair
When a muscle becomes injured, it repairs itself using a flurry of cellular activity, with stem cells splitting and differentiating into many types of specialized cells, each playing an important role in the healing process......»»
Research shows B cells can help fight infection, speed skin wound healing, and protect brain after injury
Until recently, B cells—present in the blood stream—were mainly thought to produce antibodies and present antigens to help with the immune response to pathogens. A research team at the Vaccine and Immunotherapy Center (VIC) at Massachusetts Gene.....»»
Apple Accelerates Work on Car Project, Aiming for Fully Autonomous Vehicle
Apple is pushing to accelerate development of its electric car and is refocusing the project around full self-driving capabilities, Bloomberg News reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter, aiming to solve a technical challenge that h.....»»
Trees on the move: Researchers reveal how wildfire accelerates forest changes
Refugees are on the move in forests across the western U.S. As climate conditions change, the ranges of tree species are shifting, especially toward cooler or wetter sites. A new Stanford analysis provides some of the first empirical evidence that wi.....»»

Critical role of mechanosensor in skin wound healing
PIEZO1, an ion channel mechanosensor found within cells, has been revealed to play a key role in regulating the speed of skin wound healing......»»
"Tug of war" between cells: What happens when crucial connections are missing
The ability of cells to move together in harmony is crucial for numerous biological processes in our body, for example wound healing, or the healthy development of an organism. This movement is made possible by the connections between individual cell.....»»
Materials advancement accelerates the realization of AI technology
Researchers in Korea succeeded in developing a core material for the next-generation neuromorphic (neural network imitation) semiconductor for the first time in the country. This is a result of a research team led by Dr. Jung-dae Kwon and Yong-hun Ki.....»»

Good COP, bad COP: UN climate meet praised and panned
The COP26 climate talks resuming Monday have so far unfolded on parallel planes, with high-level announcements stage-managed by host country Britain during week one riding roughshod over a laborious UN process built on consensus among nearly 200 coun.....»»
Production of iPhone 13 series accelerates as IC shortage eases
The shortage of IC components emerging in early October for iPhone 13 series is gradually easing as suppliers increase production, with assemblers on track to step up manufacturing through next February to meet terminal demand, according to supply ch.....»»
Governments need to address inevitable risks of losses and damages from climate change
As governments face the challenge of delivering on their net-zero by 2050 commitments, a new OECD report says they must focus in parallel on reducing and managing the inevitable risk of further losses and damages from climate change......»»
MIH open ecosystem accelerates EV sector takeoff
From 5G wireless communications to electrical vehicles (EV), open architectures, such as open radio access network (O-RAN) and MIH open EV development platform, are serving as an increasingly crucial gateway for more tech players to enter the relativ.....»»
Centriole instability might contribute to some cases of microcephaly
Centrioles are cylindrical structures involved in the generation of microtubules—fibers inside of cells that form a network to provide structure and shape to cells and to mediate transport processes. In addition, centriole are required to build cil.....»»
"Smart bandage" may help solve a major problem when treating chronic wounds
How can doctors make sure a dressed wound is healing without taking off the bandage? This is a conundrum, because removing a bandage can disrupt the healing process. Technology presented in a new study in open-access journal Frontiers in Physics coul.....»»
One of the first models to capture dynamics of confined cell movement
The process of normal cell division in the human body is quite simple: start dividing in response to a signal, such as a wound, and stop when enough cells have been produced and the skin is healed. But cancerous cells ignore the stop signs. They grow.....»»
