Newly Described Human Antibody Prevents Malaria in Mice By: NIAID News Scientists have discovered a human antibody that protected mice from infection with the deadliest malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. The research findings provide the basis for future testing in humans to determine if the antibody can provide short-term protection against malaria, [..]

“Body on a chip” Could Improve Drug Evaluation By: Anne Trafton | MIT News Office MIT engineers have developed new technology that could be used to evaluate new drugs and detect possible side effects before the drugs are tested in humans. Using a microfluidic platform that connects engineered tissues from [..]

Molecular Cuisine for Gut Bacteria By: EMBL News Scientific recipes to successfully grow and study gut bacteria in the lab: that’s what EMBL* scientists are publishing in Nature Microbiology on March 19. They report on the nutritional preferences and growth characteristics of 96 diverse gut bacterial strains. Their results will help scientists [..]

New Form of Electronic Matter By: Lois Yoksoulian | UIUC news Researchers have produced a “human scale” demonstration of a new phase of matter called quadrupole topological insulators that was recently predicted using theoretical physics. These are the first experimental findings to validate this theory. The researchers report their findings in [..]

Personalizing Wearable Devices By Leah Burrows | Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences When it comes to soft, assistive devices — like the exosuit being designed by the Harvard Biodesign Lab — the wearer and the robot need to be in sync. But every human moves a [..]

New Tailored Tissue Adhesives by MIT Scientist By: Anne Trafton | MIT News Office  After undergoing surgery to remove diseased sections of the colon, up to 30 percent of patients experience leakage from their sutures, which can cause life-threatening complications. Many efforts are under way to create new tissue glues [..]

Tracking Patients’ Progress With Radio Signals and Machine Learning By: Elizabeth Dougherty In 2016, Jason Laramie attended a talk at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) about a device that can see through walls. It can detect people, track their movement and breathing, and even see their hearts beating. Laramie, an [..]

3D Print Shape-Shifting Smart Gel by Rutgers Engineers By: Todd B. Bates | Rutgers University News   Rutgers engineers have invented a “4D printing” method for a smart gel that could lead to the development of “living” structures in human organs and tissues, soft robots and targeted drug delivery. The 4D printing [..]

Flexible Lithium Battery for Wearable Electronics by Columbia Engineers By: Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science The rapid development of flexible and wearable electronics is giving rise to an exciting range of applications, from smart watches and flexible displays—such as smart phones, tablets, and TV—to smart fabrics, smart glass, transdermal [..]

A Mutational Timer Is Built Into The Chemistry Of DNA By: Duke University News If you had to copy billions of letters from one sheet of paper to another, you’d probably make a few mistakes. So it might not come as a surprise that when DNA makes a copy of [..]

New Hassle-Free HIV Test That Works Better and Faster By: NATHAN COLLINS | Stanford News Public health officials have a tough choice to make when it comes to screening people for HIV: administer a reliable blood test that can detect infections early on, but that few people will volunteer for, [..]

Supercharged Antibiotics Could Turn Tide Against Superbugs By: University of Queensland News An old drug supercharged by University of Queensland researchers has emerged as a new antibiotic that could destroy some of the world’s most dangerous superbugs. The supercharge technique , led by Dr Mark Blaskovich and Professor Matt Cooper from UQ’s Institute for [..]

First Step Toward Cell-Sized Robots By: Tom Fleischman,  Cornell Chronicle  An electricity-conducting, environment-sensing, shape-changing machine the size of a human cell? Is that even possible? Cornell physicists Paul McEuen and Itai Cohen not only say yes, but they’ve actually built the “muscle” for one. With postdoctoral researcher Marc Miskinat the helm, the team has made [..]

Removable Implant May Control Type 1 Diabetes  By: Cornell News For the more than 1 million Americans who live with type 1 diabetes, daily insulin injections are literally a matter of life and death. And while there is no cure, a Cornell-led research team has developed a device that could [..]
