A key meat protein has been successfully produced in lettuce for the first time

Leave a Comment / Biotechnology, Medicine /

Meat consumption is widely regarded as one of the more environmentally damaging choices consumers can make, largely because livestock farming places significant pressure on land, water, and energy resources while contributing substantially to greenhouse gas emissions. Even so, meat remains a major part of diets around the world, driven by taste, cultural traditions, and the […]

A Fingertip Patch Monitors Parkinson’s Drugs Through Sweat

Leave a Comment / Biotechnology, Medicine /

A battery-free sweat sensor could enable quicker, more personalized monitoring of levodopa levels in people with Parkinson’s disease. For people living with Parkinson’s disease, the benefits of a levodopa dose can sometimes wear off suddenly, causing movement difficulties to return before the next dose is due. To address this challenge, engineers and neuroscientists at the

Blood collection in Brazil becomes simpler and nearly painless

Leave a Comment / Biotechnology, Medicine /

Blood collection in Brazil is entering a new era of modernization. The National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) has approved the Tasso device, an innovative technology designed to collect small capillary blood samples in a minimally invasive way, eliminating the need for traditional needles. With this authorization, Brazil becomes one of the first countries in Latin

MIT scientists created lab-grown artificial blood vessels using magnets

Biotechnology, Medicine /

Scientists hope to one day replace damaged body parts with lab-made alternatives, but recreating complex tissues and organs remains challenging. Blood vessel networks are particularly difficult to reproduce because tiny capillaries can be microscopic, with some measuring just 0.005 millimeters wide and allowing blood cells to pass through one at a time. MIT Creates More

Scientists have developed an artificial womb that can keep premature babies alive outside the body

Biotechnology, Medicine /

Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands are developing AquaWomb, an artificial womb for extremely premature babies (under 28 weeks). It uses synthetic amniotic fluid and an artificial placenta to support development outside the body. Clinical trials are still about 5–6 years away, and the project raises major ethical and social questions. Babies

Microbial degradation of biodegradable sensors reveals soil dynamics

Biology, Biotechnology /

New degradable sensors may provide valuable insights into the hidden yet vital microbial communities within soil. Developed by researchers at Lancaster University, University of Colorado Boulder, and University of Manchester, the sensors measure biological activity by incorporating a degradable material that soil microbes consume. The sensors have the potential to uncover valuable insights about soil
