Applying the common food dye Yellow 5 (tartrazine) to the skin of live mice can temporarily render it transparent, allowing researchers to observe internal organs, muscle fibers, and blood vessels without invasive procedures.
A novel AI-powered system of wearable coils and ingestible "smart" pills shows promise for identifying and tracking gases in the gastrointestinal tract associated with digestive disorders, potentially enabling early disease detection and improved management of conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and gastric cancer.
Soft biocompatible materials can help overcome the immune response and performance issues of rigid implanted glucose sensors, enabling continuous monitoring through skin-surface devices.
An injectable, bioresorbable, and wireless metastructured hydrogel sensor can continuously monitor intracranial pressure, temperature, pH, and flow rate through wireless ultrasound measurements.
접착성 인터페이스는 다양한 동물 모델에서 섬유성 피막 형성을 감소시켜 장기 이식 장치의 기능과 효능을 향상시킬 수 있다.
Adhesive implant-tissue interfaces can effectively mitigate fibrous capsule formation around implanted biomaterials and devices across diverse organ models by reducing inflammatory cell infiltration.
Direct current insulator-based dielectrophoresis (DC-iDEP) can separate distinct subpopulations of insulin secretory vesicles from pancreatic beta cells, with glucose stimulation altering the biophysical properties and distribution patterns of these vesicle subpopulations.
A salt meter or sensor can help reduce sodium intake and improve blood pressure control in hypertensive patients by providing real-time feedback on sodium levels in food, enabling gradual adaptation to lower-sodium diets.
Microbubble-enhanced ultrasound imaging can provide real-time, quantitative assessment of coronary artery narrowing and myocardial perfusion, enabling earlier detection and better monitoring of heart disease.
Engineered mini-colons that undergo tumorigenesis ex vivo enable spatiotemporally controlled induction and real-time tracking of colorectal cancer development at single-cell resolution.
