Parallel alignment of dressing fibers accelerates wound healing
A team of researchers from Singapore has reported the development of a skin-mimicking scaffold by parallelly aligning nanofibers made up of a mixture of polycaprolactone (PCL) and gelatin that enhances wound healing. Their research has recently been.....»»
3D bioprinting technique controls cell orientation
Scientists have developed a new approach for directing cell orientation within deposited hydrogel fibers via a method called multicompartmental bioprinting......»»
A deeper understanding of how cells move and stick together
Observing how cells stick to surfaces and their motility is vitally important in the study of tissue maintenance, wound healing and even understanding how cancers progress. A new paper published in The European Physical Journal Plus, by Raj Kumar Sad.....»»
FAST detects 3D spin-velocity alignment in a pulsar
Pulsars—another name for fast-spinning neutron stars—originate from the imploded cores of massive dying stars through supernova explosion......»»
One CMO’s honest take on the modern chief marketing role
Today’s marketing executives must bring functions and teams together. From sales and marketing alignment to product and everything in between, CMOs are the connective tissue between every function. Daniel Incandela Con.....»»
Machine learning accelerates cosmological simulations
A universe evolves over billions upon billions of years, but researchers have developed a way to create a complex simulated universe in less than a day. The technique, published in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, brings t.....»»
New Startup Accelerates Innovation by Bringing Together End Users and Engineers to Create Novel Solutions
Led by a former Army combat medic, Ibility uses battlefield smarts and real-world savvy to make a positive impact in the Federal management consulting space. WASHINGTON, DC, USA, May 3, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ibility, which is derived from t.....»»
A physics perspective on wound healing
In material physics understanding how systems interact across the interfaces separating them is of central interest. But can physical models clarify similar concepts in living systems, such as cells? Physicists used the framework of disordered elasti.....»»

In material physics understanding how systems interact across the interfaces separating them is of central interest. But can physical models clarify similar concepts in living systems, such as cells? Physicists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in.....»»
Cancer-linked mutation accelerates growth of abnormal stroke-causing brain blood vessels
Researchers have discovered an explanation for why cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) -- clusters of dilated blood vessels in the brain -- can suddenly grow to cause seizures or stroke. Specifically, they found that a specific, acquired mutation.....»»
Preclinical discovery triggers wound healing, skin regeneration
Difficult-to-treat, chronic wounds in preclinical models healed with normal scar-free skin after treatment with an acellular product. Derived from platelets, the purified exosomal product, known as PEP, was used to deliver healing messages into cells.....»»
"Awake" concept brings proton bunches into sync
The future of particle acceleration has begun. Awake is a promising concept for a completely new method with which particles can be accelerated even over short distances. The basis for this is a plasma wave that accelerates electrons and thus brings.....»»
Eastern and Western house mice took parallel evolutionary paths after colonizing US
The European house mouse has invaded nearly every corner of the Americas since it was introduced by colonizers a few hundred years ago, and now lives practically everywhere humans store their food......»»
DNA-inspired "supercoiling" fibers could make powerful artificial muscles for robots
The double helix of DNA is one of the most iconic symbols in science. By imitating the structure of this complex genetic molecule we have found a way to make artificial muscle fibers far more powerful than those found in nature, with potential applic.....»»
CES will return to Las Vegas in 2022
It was, I admit, slightly strange not feeling the extreme anxiety over the holidays at having to return to Las Vegas this past year. But nature is healing. Vaccinations have begun rolling out in much of the world, and CES is ready to return. The mass.....»»
Smart dielectric elastomers for self-healing soft robots
Robots that resemble organs are known as soft robots, and in order for them to function they must be made of a flexible material, however a material that can also heal itself would be a bonus if wear and tear was to occur. Researchers from WMG, Unive.....»»
Force transmission between cells orchestrates collective cellular motion
How do the billions of cells communicate in order to perform tasks? The cells exert force on their environment through movement—and in doing so, they communicate. They work as a group in order to infiltrate their environment, perform wound healing.....»»
Common antibiotic effective in healing coral disease lesions
Diseases continue to be a major threat to coral reef health. For example, a relatively recent outbreak termed stony coral tissue loss disease is an apparently infectious waterborne disease known to affect at least 20 stony coral species. First discov.....»»
Study reveals a unique mode of cell migration on soft "viscoelastic" surfaces
Inside your body, cell movement plays a crucial role in many significant biological processes, including wound healing, immune responses and the potential spread of cancer......»»
Active liquid crystal systems examined in search of autonomous materials systems
Liquid Crystals (LC) are widely deployed in display technology and optical fibers. From smartphones in your pockets to large screen TVs, LCs are everywhere, as this special state of matter has been found in colorful soap bubbles as well as certain li.....»»
Corporations agree to transparency on climate lobbying
Insurer American International Group Inc., railroad company CSX Inc. and electric companies Duke Energy Corp., FirstEnergy Corp. and Entergy Corp. have pledged to report publicly about their influence on climate policy and alignment with the Paris Ag.....»»
