COVID-19 testing: Robotic platform helps to scale up capacity
Researchers havee repurposed robotic technology normally used for synthetic biology research to help with testing for COVID-19.
Multicellular liver-on-a-chip for modeling fatty liver disease
Researchers have developed a structurally representative liver-on-a-chip model which mimics the full progression sequence of NAFLD.
Biosensors quickly spot coronavirus proteins, antibodies
Scientists have created a new way to detect the proteins that make up the pandemic coronavirus, as well as antibodies against it.
Sugar: Sweet way to 3D print blood vessels
Scientists have developed a way of using laser-sintering of powdered sugars to produce highly detailed structures that mimick the body’s intricate, branching blood vessels in lab-grown tissues.
AI can detect language problems tied to liver failure
Researchers have shown that AI can evaluate written messages by patients with severely diseased livers to detect language abnormalities associated with liver disease.
Silicone-based 3D lattice can improve drug testing
Scientists have found the perfect geometry: on a newly developed 3D silicone lattice, human stem cells will grow and behave in the same way as they do inside the human body.
Organtransplantation: Biophotonic therapy kills infections
Scientists have developed a new technique for the decontamination of organs before transplantation using ultraviolet and red light irradiation.
