- Bioengineering, Vol. 10, Pages 683: A Disentangled VAE-BiLSTM Model for Heart Ra... Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of death globally. According to the American Heart Association, approximately 19.1 million deaths were attributed to CVDs in 2020, in particular, ischemic heart disease and stroke. Several known risk factors for CVDs include smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of regular physical activity, and diabetes....
- A robot inspired by centipedes has no trouble finding its footing Centipedes' undulating movements can sometimes improve robot mobility. Deposit PhotosResearchers at Osaka University designed a 'myriapod' bot that uses less energy and computational power than other walking machines. The post A robot inspired by centipedes has no trouble finding its footing appeared first on Popular Science....
- Evolution of human foot arches put the necessary pep in our upright steps Arch mobility could be the key to our species' successful bipedalism. Deposit PhotosA spring-like recoil in the arch helps the ankle lift the body from the ground. The post Evolution of human foot arches put the necessary pep in our upright steps appeared first on Popular Science....
- Bioengineering of human physiologically relevant microfluidic blood-cerebrospina... Lab Chip, 2023, Accepted ManuscriptDOI: 10.1039/D3LC00131H, PaperYing Zhou, Haowen Qiao, Fang Xu, Wen Zhao, Jibo Wang, Longjun Gu, Pu Chen, Mian PengThe human blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (hBCSFB) plays a crucial role in regulating brain interstitial fluid homeostasis, and disruption of the hBCSFB is associated with various neurological diseases. Generation of...
- Three Caltech Undergraduates Receive Fulbright Scholarships Undergraduates Mohini Misra, Margaret Sui, and Arielle Tycko have been selected to receive Fulbright scholarships. The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program, created by the U.S. Congress in 1946, is a cultural exchange program that offers grants to students who wish to perform research or pursue creative activities abroad.Misra, who studies computer...
- Bioengineering, Vol. 10, Pages 618: Quantification of the Monomer Compositions o... With the growing interest in bioplastics, there is an urgent need to develop rapid analysis methods linked to production technology development. This study focused on the production of a commercially non-available homopolymer, poly(3-hydroxyvalerate) (P(3HV)), and a commercially available copolymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (P(3HB-co-3HV)), through fermentation using two different bacterial strains. The bacteria...
- Treating children with blast injuries with prosthetic innovations Imperial College London opens its first-ever centre designing prosthetic innovations for child blast injuries occurring in conflict zones. The post Treating children with blast injuries with prosthetic innovations appeared first on Open Access Government....
- Self-healing mycelium leather shown to be possible New bioengineering research has shown the potential of using mycelium, the root-like structure of branching hyphae found in soil and rotting tree trunks that is part of the fungus family, as an as an engineered living material (ELM) that can self-repair. A new mycelium-based ELM was established for the first time, and its...
- Engineers design sutures that can deliver drugs or sense inflammation The bioderived “smart sutures” could help patients heal after bowel resection or other types of surgery....
- Ingestible “electroceutical” capsule stimulates hunger-regulating hormone The device, which uses electricity to boost hormone production in the stomach, could help to ease nausea and counteract appetite loss....
- AI system can generate novel proteins that meet structural design targets These tunable proteins could be used to create new materials with specific mechanical properties, like toughness or flexibility....
- A New Mechanism for Crossing the Blood–Brain Barrier The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a stringent, nearly impenetrable layer of cells that guards the brain, protecting the vital organ from hazards in the bloodstream such as toxins or bacteria and allowing only a very limited set of small molecules, such as nutrients, to pass through. This layer of protection,...
