New Biomarkers Associated With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Severity By: Bruce Goldman | Stanford News Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have linked chronic fatigue syndrome to variations in 17 immune-system signaling proteins, or cytokines, whose concentrations in the blood correlate with the disease’s severity. The findings provide evidence that inflammation [..]

Fast, Noninvasive Technique For Probing Cells May Reveal Disease By: Jennifer Chu | MIT News Office  The stiffness or elasticity of a cell can reveal much about whether the cell is healthy or diseased. Cancer cells, for instance, are known to be softer than normal, while asthma-affected cells can be [..]

New Hydrogel-Based Capsules: Ingestible And Slowly Drug releasing Material By: Helen Knight | MIT News correspondent  Around half of all medications for chronic diseases are not taken as prescribed, costing the U.S. health care system more than $100 billion in avoidable hospital stays each year. This noncompliance is even more significant [..]

This Novel Molecular Switch Could Be Useful To Treat Parkinson’s, Arthritis and Other Diseases By : Kristin Samuelson | NW News A groundbreaking advancement in materials from Northwestern University could potentially help patients requiring stem cell therapies for spinal cord injuries, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritic joints or any other [..]

Probiotic Beer : That Improves Gut Health And Boosts Immunity By: NUS News Beer lovers may soon have a gut-friendly drink to raise a toast to, thanks to the creation of a novel probiotic sour beer by a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS). This new specialty [..]

First Battery-Free Cellphone By: Jennifer Langston | UW News University of Washington researchers have invented a cellphone that requires no batteries — a major leap forward in moving beyond chargers, cords and dying phones. Instead, the phone harvests the few microwatts of power it requires from either ambient radio signals or light. [..]

A New Mechanism for Genome Regulation By: Sarah Yang| Berkeley Lab News The same mechanisms that quickly separate mixtures of oil and water are at play when controlling the organization in an unusual part of our DNA called heterochromatin, according to a new study by researchers at the Department of [..]

A Microscopic Guillotine To Study Single-Cell Wound Repair July 2, 2017 By: Taylor Kubota | Stanford News While doing research at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory in Massachusetts, Sindy Tang learned of a remarkable organism: Stentor coeruleus. It’s a single-celled, free-living freshwater organism, shaped like a trumpet and big enough to see with [..]

A Novel Eco-friendly  Method To Extract The Copper By: Denis Paiste | Materials Processing Center  Julye 2, 2017 MIT researchers have identified the proper temperature and chemical mixture to selectively separate pure copper and other metallic trace elements from sulfur-based minerals using molten electrolysis. This one-step, environmentally friendly process simplifies [..]

A New Broad-Spectrum Diagnostic Weapon Against Cancer By : Lindsay Brownell | Wyss Institute News Cancerous tumors are formidable enemies, recruiting blood vessels to aid their voracious growth, damaging nearby tissues, and deploying numerous strategies to evade the body’s defense systems. But even more malicious are the circulating tumor cells (CTCs) that [..]

An Affordable Yeast Based Global Biosensor Tool To Detect Pathogens By: Jessica Guenzel | Columbia University NEWS Columbia University researchers have developed a tool that is likely to revolutionize the way we detect and treat pathogens in everything from human health to agriculture to water. Using only common household baker’s yeast, [..]

A New And More Sustainable Way To Produce The Fuel Additive Ethanol By: MARK SHWARTZ Most cars and trucks in the United States run on a blend of 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent ethanol, a renewable fuel made primarily from fermented corn. But producing the 14 billion gallons of [..]

Utilizing Photosynthesis To Treat Damaged Hearts June 18, 2017 By: Stanford News In the ongoing hunt to find better treatments for heart disease, the top cause of death globally, new research from Stanford shows promising results using an unusual strategy: photosynthetic bacteria and light. Researchers found that by injecting a [..]

Optical Quantum Computing: New Leap By MIT Researchers By: Larry Hardesty | MIT News Office June 17, 2017 Ordinarily, light particles — photons — don’t interact. If two photons collide in a vacuum, they simply pass through each other. An efficient way to make photons interact could open new prospects [..]
